Practice Exactly What You Need
Not feeling random puzzles today? Pick what you want to work on (forks, back-rank mates, rook endgames, and 60+ more) and we'll build the session around it. Go broad, or zero in on one thing. Totally up to you.
“I needed to practice back rank mates specifically. Finally found a platform where I can do exactly that.”

Build Your Training Library
Found a mix you like? Save it. Build up a little library of go-to sessions (a morning warm-up, an endgame drill, a quick mistakes review) and start any of them with one tap, set up just the way you like.
“I have different training units for different moods and goals. One-click and I'm training.”
Track Your Progress Across 100+ Puzzle Themes
Your rating isn't just one number, it's a whole picture of what you're good at. Chessbuddy keeps a separate rating for forks, mates, endgames, and dozens more, so you can see where you shine and where there's room to grow, with charts that follow your progress over time.
“I never knew I was a 1800 in forks but only 1400 in endgames. This changed everything.”
Learn From Mistakes, Reinforce Success
Solving a puzzle isn't the end of it. Chessbuddy quietly brings back the ones you missed when the time is right (Reflect), and resurfaces ones you've nailed so they really stick (Reinforce). Spaced repetition, working away in the background, so you actually remember what you learn.
“Other platforms forget my mistakes. Chessbuddy makes sure I actually learn from them.”
Compete, Compare, Climb the Ranks
See how you stack up against the rest of the Chessbuddy crowd. Total XP, this week, this month, or overall rating. Find your spot, check your percentile, and enjoy a bit of friendly competition. Nothing too serious, just a nudge to keep the streak going.
“Seeing I'm in the Top 5% this week motivates me to keep my streak going.”

Finally an app that understands me. I solved all the puzzles blindfolded while skiing. 11/10.
@SpeedyHikaru
Used this app once and instantly played a 64-move brilliancy. Coincidence? I think not.
@DeepThinker94
This app is tougher than Deep Blue. I had to resign on puzzle three.
@QueenGamb1t
Downloaded it in the 60s. Still ahead of its time.
@IamNotParanoid
They finally made an app that doesn't conspire against me.
@TacticsQueen
Checkmates, confidence, caffeine - this app has it all.
@Fab4Real
Got 100% accuracy. App accused me of cheating.
