A new puzzle every day
Each day has its own theme: checkmates on Monday and Friday, winning a piece on Tuesday, forks on Wednesday, pins on Thursday, the back row on Saturday and making a queen on Sunday. Every puzzle is a real position from Lichess, checked by a chess engine so the answer is the one good move.
