About Serene Chess: Puzzles
Serene Chess is a calm space for deep play: a strong engine, four thousand tactics puzzles, and a review that shows you where the game actually turned. Everything works offline, with no account, no ads, and no data collected. PLAY • A tunable opponent, from a gentle club player to full strength • Three playing styles: Defender, Balanced, Aggressor • Hints, takebacks, draw offers, resignation, and PGN sharing • Your opening named as you play it, from the standard ECO tables PUZZLES • 4,000 tactics puzzles bundled in the app and playable anywhere • Four difficulty bands, from Gentle to Severe • Choose the idea you want to practise: forks, pins, skewers, deflection, back-rank mates, endgames • A new puzzle every day, with streaks and honest progress REVIEW • The engine walks back through your finished game, move by move • Accuracy for both sides, and the moments that decided the result • See what the engine would have played instead • Tap any moment to jump straight to that position on the board QUIET BY DESIGN Soft wood tones, an evaluation bar you can switch off, gentle haptics, and a dark mode that stays dark. Nothing flashes, nothing nags, nothing is sold to you. Stockfish runs entirely on your device. No account, no network, no analytics: your games never leave your phone.
