Update v1.7
Ready for even more chess puzzles? Our brand-new game modes put wickedly delightful spins on the classic game of chess, and with new challenges you can revisit some of the greatest chess games and puzzles of history and battle for the glory alongside the world's most sophisticated chess engine. Whether you prefer a mind-melting brain-teaser or a more relaxed meditative flow, Lazy Chess v1.7 has you covered.
2x2 A unique challenge where each player takes two moves in succession, one for themselves and another for their opponent. Pick the best move for you, and the worst for your enemy! By Piece In this mode, you toggle between all the possible moves of a single piece stockfish chooses as having the best move. Both Sides An extremely fun and challenging mode where you play as both white and black. As white you are trying to defeat black, but blacks moves are much better.
Podgaets v Dvoretsky, USSR Championship 1974 The Rumble in Odessa! Youre Mark Dvortetsky, and youre in a tight spot! Can you and Stockfish see the same way forward that he did on that fateful day in Odessa? The Paul Morphy Puzzle Paul Morphy was just 10 years old when he invented this puzzle in 1856. It was the only puzzle he ever created, but its cleverness has endured for over 150 years. Playing white, can you mate in just 2 moves? Zugzwang! In chess, zugzwang is when a player must move a piece, but all your available moves are bad. The Latvian Johann Sehwers composed many devilish zugzwang puzzles between 1868-1940, but this one is our favorite - can you find a way for white to win?

Lazy Chess is a non-profit chess puzzle that aims to innovate the game and reduce the intimidation factor for new or self-conscious players. On average, there are more than 30 legal chess moves available to a player in a turn, creating vigintillions (that’s 10 followed by 63 zeros) of possibilities throughout a game. Lazy Chess compresses all those possibilities. Every turn, it offers you the best 2, 3 or 4 moves you could make. The only catch? You won’t know which move is the best!
The world's most sophisticated chess engine, Stockfish, analyzes the board and offers you the best two moves, but it won’t tell you which move is best until after you’ve confirmed your choice. The board plays as a real chess game would while limiting your selections. In any turn, your options may allow you to defend, progress, capture, or even use special rules such as castling. The moves provided in Lazy Chess can always win the match, but how strong are your decisions?
Lazy Chess is designed to take the stress out of chess. By simplifying the game, players of all levels will be able to play good chess with winning strategies. Those new to chess will learn creative moves and tactics, and those with experience can play with speed against a world-class neural network. Compete against an AI opponent, online with strangers or friends, or with the person next to you!
Looking for a greater challenge? Lazy Chess offers dozens of settings and variants, introducing random moves, varying Stockfish “depth” and a real-time advantage tracker. Challenge Mode allows you to use the openings of famous games and see if you can progress with the grandmasters. Those looking for further analysis of their games can copy the PGN of their game to their clipboard, or analyze it externally on external sites!
