Eight minutes a day. That's the whole idea.
Chess improvement is a habit, not a library, and a habit has to fit in the gaps of a real day. 8chess gives you one small, focused session — three lessons and a few puzzles — instead of a catalogue to get lost in.
YOUR LESSONS, CHOSEN FOR YOU
Every morning you get three lessons picked for your level. You don't browse, you don't decide, you don't wonder whether you're studying the right thing. Open the app and start.
The set changes daily and mixes openings, tactics, endgames and strategy, so you're never grinding the same theme for a week. Finished lessons stay on screen, so the day's progress is something you can see.
Found one you loved? Save it. Saved lessons stay one tap away.
UNLIMITED PUZZLES
Tactics are how pattern recognition gets built, so there's no daily cap. Solve five or fifty. Your puzzle rating adjusts as you go, and the difficulty follows.
STARTING FROM ZERO
If you've never played, say so when you sign up. You'll get a guided track that teaches how the pieces move, in order, at your pace — and when you finish it, the daily lessons take over automatically.
MATCHED TO YOUR LEVEL
Set your level and the lessons follow. Move it up when the material feels easy; the next day's set adjusts immediately.
WHAT'S INSIDE
More than 3,500 lessons across openings, tactics, endgames and strategy, plus a foundation track for absolute beginners. Every lesson is interactive: you play the moves on the board and get commentary as you go.
FREE AND PREMIUM
Free accounts get unlimited puzzles, the complete beginner track, and one lesson a day.
Premium unlocks the full daily set and the entire library. Choose how many lessons you want each day and the app delivers that many.
