Anarchy Chess

Place every piece from the tray onto the 8×8 board so that no piece attacks any other piece in either direction.

• Click or drag a piece from the tray onto any square to place it; placing your first piece starts the clock.
• Drag a placed piece on the board to move or swap it, or click it (or drag it off the board) to return it to the tray.
• Subtle dots mark empty squares currently threatened by placed pieces; red squares indicate an attack conflict.
• Stuck? Click Hint (1 per 30s) to place a valid piece, or highlight a misplaced piece if your board has reached a dead end.

New Easy, Medium, and Hard daily puzzles unlock every day at 00:00 UTC.

Once you solve a puzzle, any unattacked empty squares are highlighted and your solve time locks in immediately. You can keep rearranging pieces to try for 0 unattacked squares (full board coverage)!

Daily leaderboards rank solutions by fewest unattacked squares first, fewest hints second, and fastest time third.
