Chess Puzzle of the Day
<< Back to Free Brain Games page

    

Here's a daily chess puzzle that's sure to help you build your ability to focus and concentrate.

HOW TO PLAY. Look just below the board for the goal of the puzzle. For example, it may say "Find the best move for black."

To change the difficulty, click the Easy, Medium, or Hard button. If you can't figure out the puzzle, click the Hint button for a clue.

Here's a little history from Wikipedia: Chess is a recreational and competitive game for two players. It is derived from Persian shah ("the King"), an abbreviation of Shâh-mât (Checkmate).

Sometimes called Western or International to distinguish it from its predecessors and other cariants, the current form emerged in Southern Europe during the second half of the 15th century after evolving from similar, much older games of Indian origin.

This is a timeless game that gives your brain a thorough workout. Enjoy!
