In each puzzle, you are given a chess position from actual play, and told which player had the move (White or Black). It’s up to you to figure out the best move in that position.
The difficulty of the puzzles increases as the week progresses, with Monday puzzles being very basic, and Sunday puzzles almost impossible.
The goal is to find the best move, or sequence of moves, in the given position.
You do not always have to find a checkmate! Just find the best move.
Usually, this move will lead to a superior position, either by a forced sequence of moves which leads to checkmate, or (more commonly) wins substantial material.
