1 — Target difficulty

Puzzle ratings run harder than player ratings — at or just below your own rating is the band that actually builds recognition. Pick one, several, or leave it unfiltered.

Built on the Woodpecker Method by GM Axel Smith and GM Hans Tikkanen. Puzzles from the Lichess open database (CC0). What's ours is matching the set to your repertoire and your rating.

Your sets

One fixed set, solved over and over, until recognition replaces calculation. The number that matters is your solving time falling on each pass.

Use our sets

Every set is 250 puzzles, drilled seven times. Pick the rating closest to your online rating — the set is built from puzzles within 100 points of it.
