Lishogi Daily Puzzle

About Lishogi Daily Puzzle

Lishogi.org is a free, open-source site for shogi, Japanese chess, built on the same lines as Lichess. Its puzzle section includes a daily puzzle: one position for all players that day, taken from its tactics trainer, which describes its mix as a bit of everything, so you never know quite what to expect.

You play the best move on the board; dropped pieces, promotions and checks all come into it, as in a real game. Beyond the daily puzzle there is a puzzle dashboard, themed sets and tsume problems, which are forced-mate puzzles.

It is free with no account needed to play.

It suits shogi players who want a daily tactic, and chess players curious about shogi who already use Lichess.

Tips
