Chess Tactics Trainer

Practice your chess skills by playing random chess puzzles.

This app was made using the following projects:

• ChessboardJSX to display the chess board & pieces
• chess.js for chess move generation/validation, piece placement/movement, and check/checkmate/stalemate detection - basically everything but the AI.
• Chess Blunders API to fetch random chess puzzles, along with game & player informations

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

UI

The UI shows informations about the current puzzle on the left, fetched from Chess Blunders API:

• Rank
• Number of favs
• Number of likes
• Number of dislikes
• Number of comments

On the right there are informations (if available) about the actual game from which came the puzzle: who played black and who played white (name + rank). There is also the history of moves made in the game.

Features

• Play current puzzle until you solve it - Note: you can only make a certain move each time, the good one 👌
• Restart current puzzle
• Go to next puzzle

Roadmap

• Github Pages hosting + CI/CD
• Hint button
• Timer
