Chess puzzles

Tactics trainer
Chess puzzles drawn from your real mistakes
Blunder Buster turns the tactics you missed into targeted practice, while Storm and Streak keep your pattern recognition sharp under the clock.
Puzzles from your games
The trainer surfaces the motifs you actually miss — pins, forks, back-rank ideas — so reps go straight to your blind spots.
Storm mode
Race the clock through as many puzzles as you can, with high scores to chase. Pure pattern-recognition speed training.
Streak mode
Solve without slipping — one miss ends the run. Builds the accuracy that keeps you from throwing away won positions.
Spaced repetition
Missed motifs come back on a schedule tuned to memory, so the pattern sticks instead of fading by next week.
Adapts as you improve
As you close one gap, the trainer shifts to the next weakness your games reveal — the plan never goes stale.
