Daily chess puzzle: where to find one every day

For a classic puzzle of the day, start with Lichess, which picks one well-tested puzzle a day from real games on the site, and Chess.com, whose daily position grows harder from Monday to Sunday and comes with a short video of the solution. ChessPuzzle.net hand-picks its daily puzzle from a recent tournament game and shows the full game afterwards. blunder.clinic sets six positions a day for each rating band, chosen by how often players of your level miss the best move, which makes it a good daily check of your own play. The Süddeutsche Zeitung's Schach-Rätsel adds a numbered position with tips, for subscribers.

If you want chess as a guessing game, Chessle asks for a whole opening in six tries, with Wordle colours on each move, and Chessguessr shows a position from a real game and asks for the next five moves that were played.

Other dailies use chess pieces for a different kind of puzzle. Chessolo and Echo Chess give you one piece that turns into whatever it captures and ask you to clear the board; Chess Takes makes every move a capture; Royal Family asks you to place six pieces so none attacks another; Chess Attack wants a checkmate on a 6 by 6 board in as few moves as possible. Really Bad Chess, on Puzzmo and in Zach Gage's app, gives you a full game against the computer with randomised armies, the same for everyone each day.
