Our guidance
How can I quickly access puzzles on my iPhone or iPad?
You can add the Chess Widget to your Home Screen. This allows you to keep a puzzle or a specific position from your selected mode close at hand for quick access throughout your day.
If you need a hand, you can take a hint to help you progress. After viewing the hint, you can try solving the puzzle again on your own to better understand the combination.
The Learning section offers 15 opening courses, including the Italian Game and Sicilian Defense. You can read explanations, try moves on the board, and use step-by-step practice to help the lessons stick.
Can I play against the computer to practice my ideas?
Yes, you can play against the computer by choosing your side and difficulty level. This mode allows you to try out new ideas and use hints while you practice at your own pace.
Use Coach mode to review completed Lichess games. It helps you understand where a game turned by assessing your moves, identifying inaccuracies or mistakes, and allowing you to try finding the best move yourself.
Is it possible to play against friends without an internet connection?
Yes, you can use the side-by-side mode. By connecting two devices, you can enjoy local multiplayer games with friends even when you do not have an active internet connection.
How can I study specific positions from books or other sources?
You can use the board editor to arrange pieces manually or import positions using FEN format. Once set up, you can explore the position or play against the computer to test your ideas.
Zen Mode is a setting you can enable to create a quieter gaming environment. It is designed to help you focus by providing a game experience with fewer distractions on the screen.
Yes, you can explore over 100,000 games by outstanding players, ranging from historic classics to modern grandmaster matches. You can search by player, year, or opening and watch moves via automatic playback.
