🎮 How to Play Chess Puzzles
Chess puzzles present you with a position from a game and challenge you to find the best move or sequence of moves. They help improve your tactical vision.
- Analyze the position: Look at all pieces, their attacks, and defenses.
- Find threats: What is your opponent threatening? What can you threaten?
- Calculate: Think several moves ahead, considering opponent's best responses.
- Execute: Play the winning move or combination.
💡 Chess Puzzle Tips
- Check is powerful: Forcing checks limit your opponent's options.
- Look for forks: Attack two pieces at once with a Knight or other piece.
