lichess.org Daily Puzzle Game Rules
The puzzle begins after the opening moves of a chess game, at the moment chosen for the tactic. Make the best move for the highlighted side. A correct move advances the line and changes the turn; an incorrect move is rejected or counts as a failed attempt. Continue until the tactical sequence reaches its natural conclusion.
- The highlighted side has the first puzzle move.
- A correct move advances the game’s best continuation.
- The opponent’s reply is part of the puzzle, not a free choice.
- Puzzle themes and analysis can explain the finished line afterward.
