Chess puzzles, free and unlimited
Solve rated chess puzzles at your level, choose a theme like forks or mate in 2, race the clock in Puzzle Rush, and come back for a new puzzle every day.
Rated puzzles at your level
Every puzzle has a rating, and so do you. Solve one and your puzzle rating goes up; miss one and it goes down. The next puzzles follow your rating, so they stay hard enough to teach you something.
Puzzles by theme
Train one idea at a time: forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks, back-rank mates, mate in 1, 2 or 3, endgames and more.
Puzzle Rush and Rush Battle
Puzzle Rush: solve as many puzzles as you can in 3 or 5 minutes, or in Survival with no clock. They get harder with every one, and three misses end the run. The puzzles you missed come back later for review.
Rush Battle: race other players through the same puzzles for 3 minutes and watch their scores live, or invite up to three friends to a room.

Questions and answers
Are chessGM's puzzles free and unlimited?
Yes. You can solve as many puzzles as you like, free. Now and then an ad is shown between puzzles, never during one.
How does the puzzle rating work?
Your puzzle rating goes up when you solve a puzzle and down when you miss one, by more for puzzles far from your rating. The next puzzles are chosen near your rating.
Is there a daily chess puzzle?
Yes. A new puzzle every day, and after you solve it you can play the whole solution through on the board.
