About Chessle

We're all big fans of chess and we wanted to create a little site that reflects that love. Introducing Chessle – a chess puzzle site made on a lazy Sunday afternoon. What started as a simple idea has grown into something we're genuinely excited about sharing with fellow chess enthusiasts.

It started off as a small daily puzzle however, we are on a mission to expand it and make a much bigger platform full of unique chess puzzles and software. We're building everything in public, sharing our progress and learning from the community along the way. Whether you're a beginner looking to improve your tactics or an experienced player seeking fresh challenges, we want Chessle to be a place where you can grow your chess skills.

Thanks for stopping by and we hope you have fun with Chessle! We're constantly working on new features and improvements, so check back often to see what's new. Your feedback and support mean the world to us as we continue building this platform. ♚
