Chessguessr is a game where you try to guess the next moves in a chessgame. All positions are currently taken from games played on Lichess.

Rules

Like Wordle, or Chessle, you are given hints after each guess.

  • 🟩 indicates that the move is correct.
  • 🟨 indicates that the move is correct, but in the wrong place.
  • 🟦 indicates that the correct piece type was moved (but not necessarily the exact same piece).
  • ⬜ indicates that the move is wrong.

Development

Chessguessr is built with Remix, Typescript, Tailwind, Firebase (for keeping track of puzzle stats).
