This website offers you a new chess problem every day. For the moment there are
only checkmate problems. Later, perhaps, I will add other kinds of problems.
For each problem a group of stars show you the difficulty of the chess problem.
If there is only one star it is a very easy problem.
If you can't solve the chess problem of the day come back the next
day and go on to the Yesterday item to find the solution.
I used java to display Chess Problems with short download and a lot of
features. So you have to have an internet browser java 1.1 compliant (IE4
and Netscape 4.06 and higer are java 1.1 compliant).
It's now possible to move figures. Just click on a figure move to the good
square and click again. To come back to the initial position click on
"Today" in
the menu (or Yesterday, or problem in the list of the archives).
At the moment, I used only the US short
notation for writing the solution. Later I will use the graphic short notation (with
a picture of the figure instead of the US letter). If you are not familiar with the
US notation, look at the table below to know the meaning of each figure letter :
Letter
US name
K
King
Q
Queen
R
Rook
B
Bishop
N
kNight
If you click on "(c)" at left bottom of the board an About box is displayed.
And if you can't get connected one day, don't worry, you will not miss a chess
problem or a solution. Go onto the Archives item and you will access
all the 10 last problems.
