Peekchess trains calculation: thinking ahead without moving the pieces, as a game asks.

How a puzzle works

  1. 1

    Watch the moves

    They land as arrows, one by one.

  2. 2

    Hold the position

    It changes only in your head.

  3. 3

    Find the win

    From the visualized position.

The board freezes

On most puzzle sites the pieces move as you solve. You can go one move at a time.

A game doesn't let you. The board stays as it is until you move.

So in Peekchess the pieces stay put. The moves land as arrows, and you calculate the line in your head over the board you can see.

A depth that climbs

Every puzzle shows how many moves ahead you are working. You start at a depth you can already see.

As you solve, the number climbs. You can also set it yourself in the puzzle filters.
