// how to play

  • click a piece to select it
  • highlighted dots show legal moves
  • correct move flashes green and plays out the response
  • wrong move flashes red — board resets

// about the rating

puzzle ratings use the same glicko-2 system as over-the-board ratings. ~1500 is intermediate, ~2000 is advanced. the daily puzzle skews harder.

// why chess

chess has been a constant for me — same pattern recognition and decision-making under uncertainty that shows up in other disciplines.
