Chess puzzles

How should you train chess puzzles?

Online chess puzzles develop calculation, tactical pattern recognition and decision-making under time pressure. In Rebusownia, you can solve everything from mate-in-one puzzles to combinations spanning six or more moves, as well as practise skewers, discovered attacks and best continuations. Play in your browser for free, with no account required.

Every puzzle starts from a prepared position on the chessboard. Before moving, check king safety, piece placement and all available checks, captures and direct threats. Your goal is to find the best move and play the correct line directly on the board.

In standard mode, you make your moves while Rebusownia replies automatically for the opponent and guides you through each stage of the solution. To analyse the complete line on your own, choose the mode for playing both sides.

If you get stuck, you can reveal the solution, restart the puzzle or move on to the next position. The database contains thousands of puzzles of different lengths and complexity, so you can practise both quick checkmates and longer combinations.
