Offline chess tactics from real Lichess puzzles. No account, ads, or tracking
Chess Puzzles is an offline tactics trainer built from real positions in the Lichess puzzle database. Find the best move, follow the tactical line, and improve at your own pace.
Clear goals. Each puzzle tells you what to find, such as checkmate in two.
Three difficulty bands. Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard puzzles.
Useful hints. Reveal the move to play when you need a nudge.
Opening practice. Learn twenty openings move by move, then practise them from memory against selected replies.
Saved progress. Track solved puzzles, puzzles solved without a hint, and streaks on your device.
Light and dark themes. Use the board that suits your screen.
Fully offline. Every puzzle is bundled with the app.
The app needs no account. It never asks you for a permission and cannot use the internet. It contains no ads, analytics, or tracking. Puzzles come from the Lichess Open Database under CC0 1.0, and opening names from Lichess's opening list, also CC0 1.0.

What’s new
Many more puzzles: 9,000 instead of 2,400. Pick the kind of puzzle you want to practise, such as fork, pin or promotion, in the new Theme menu. Share the position on the board with the new Share position button. The app is now also in Danish, Spanish and Chinese, and the letters and numbers on the board stay readable on highlighted squares.
How to install
Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
