Game Features

  • Puzzles for Every Skill Level
    Whether you’re discovering checkmate for the first time or hunting down every tactical nuance, there’s a puzzle for you. Beginners can focus on basics, while advanced players get to wrestle with tough tactical situations.

  • Choose Your Focus
    Handpick the kind of tactics you want to tackle — maybe you struggle with pins, or want more practice on endgames or sacrifices. The game lets you customize which puzzles pop up, so practice time always hits the spot.

  • Adjustable Difficulty and ELO
    Tweak the ELO range for your puzzles to match (or stretch) your comfort zone. That way, you can train right at your level or push yourself up a notch.

  • Wide Range of Tactics Covered
    From familiar concepts like forks, pins, and back rank mates, to more advanced themes like windmills, underpromotion, or even zugzwang, the app covers just about every trick in the chess book.

  • Great for Fast, Focused Training
    No need to wade through long matches — just jump straight into bitesized scenarios to quickly hone your skills. It’s perfect for squeezing in some tactical training, even if you only have a couple of minutes.

  • Fine-Tune Your Weak Points
    Want to stop falling for that nasty skewer or finally master the en passant trap? Zero in on your personal trouble spots and watch as those weaknesses turn into strengths.

  • Looks and Plays Smooth Anywhere
    The game runs well across devices, and if you like solving puzzles with a big display or mouse, playing Chess Puzzles and Tactics with BlueStacks is a breeze.

  • Keep Things Interesting
    Puzzles range in style and complexity, from single-move mates to wild sequences with decoys and dazzling sacrifices. You can keep things fresh and make your chess practice anything but boring.
