What would make chess puzzles more fun for you?

While building ChessBout, I realized most chess puzzle apps feel more like training tools than actual games.

So I m curious:

  • What do you enjoy most while solving puzzles?

  • Competitive modes, streaks, timers, leaderboards, friends, rewards?

  • What frustrates you in existing chess puzzle apps?

  • And what would make you come back every day?

ChessBout - Multiple-choice chess duels & daily challenges ♟️

Most chess puzzle apps feel like study tools. ChessBout makes them feel like a game. Solve multiple-choice chess puzzles, play live 1v1 duels, compete in daily challenges, and climb global leaderboards in a fast mobile-first experience with no drag-to-move friction.
