Show HN: Chess Puzzle Bot – Puzzles vs. Stockfish (chesspuzzlebot.com)

I made a website where you can play chess puzzles against Stockfish!

When playing puzzles, neither Lichess nor Chess.com will accept a wrong move, which in my opinion spoils the resolution of the puzzle since only correct moves allow you to keep playing.

So, I had the idea for a website where you can play chess puzzles, but if you make the wrong move, the puzzle turns into a game against Stockfish. This opens the door to either find alternative solutions or fail miserably (at some point you realize you are not following the puzzle any more). I think its a more engaging way to play puzzles!

This is my first website, don't expect every div to be correctly centered. The mobile version may not be as polished but is still playable.

Feedback is highly appreciated!




Pretty cool! It is indeed harder to play this than lichess puzzles.

There seems to be a bug in today's puzzle, when I play Qxg7+, then Bh6+, it switches me to black pieces. Also the page crashes sometimes, not sure why.


Thanks! I hope you enjoyed, it is really much more difficult!

Hmm that's a new one... There is no puzzle of the day, you get a random puzzle served, identified by an ID number. If you could check history and let me know the puzzle ID I can look into the bug.
