► Another Chess board for Puzzle solving !
Table of Contents
Welcome to the Chess Puzzle Master project! This innovative and visually appealing chess puzzle application was developed as a part of a second-semester project. The goal of Chess Puzzle Master is to offer chess enthusiasts a dynamic and engaging way to sharpen their chess skills by solving puzzles extracted directly from Lichess - one of the most popular chess platforms available today.
Chess Puzzle Master stands out due to its sleek interface and the animated movements of the chess pieces, which add a delightful and interactive dimension to the puzzle-solving experience. Each piece animates smoothly across the board to its destination, and even the suggested position squares, hinting where a piece might best be moved, come alive with animation.
- Puzzle Source: All puzzles are dynamically loaded from Lichess, ensuring a vast and varied collection that is continually updated with new challenges.
- Three Unique Modes:
- One Shot: Test your precision and foresight by solving each puzzle in just a single attempt. Perfect for those who love a challenge and want to test their accuracy under pressure.
- Timed: With a countdown of 5 minutes, see how many puzzles you can solve within the time limit. It’s a race against time that requires quick thinking and rapid decision-making.
- No Limit: For those looking for a more relaxed experience, this mode allows you to take your time with each puzzle, making it perfect for learning and practice without any stress.
- Animated Pieces and Suggested Positions: To enhance the user experience, all chess pieces and suggestion squares are fully animated, bringing the game to life and making your puzzle-solving journey even more enjoyable.
