    Very cool idea, and very well implemented. My only feedback is that you should clarify whether the solution has to be a valid position that can be reached in a chess game.

    It's really confusing to me that I drag a piece, I drop it on a square, it stays there, and there's an animation that the piece returns to the bottom. If it stays there, it shouldn't have a "returning" animation. Otherwise, it's an interesting puzzle.

    Very nice idea. Reminds me a bit of https://www.chessguessr.com/.

    Looks really cool, although way beyond my chess ability. Nice work

    Managed to guess it on the first try after realising it looked like a real game. Bit sad to see only one puzzle per day.

    Sharing the result also reveils the solution in copied text, maybe remove that so someone could share the exact puzzle without immediatly seeing the solution.

    Seems cool, reminds me of this video where top GMs guess the position without seeing the pieces. Some can even name players and the date of the game.

    A fun idea and great execution. Looking forward to tomorrow's puzzle

    This is actually an interesting take on a chess puzzle, instead of calculate the winning sequence it's asking you to reconstruct it.

    Very cool to have to think in the other direction to solve it.

    Cool! not getting any response from the share result button on firefox (got it on the second try and wanted to brag a bit about it)

    There should be colorblind options. Makes the puzzle quite challenging.

    At first I thought it would be the typical chess exercise question, just that everybody gets the same one each day, but I like the approach you have. Makes one think differently than usual.

    Worked pretty well. It was nice that it told me "this is not a mate", I'd have burned through all my tries without that guardrail.

    Nice! Will be trying this over the next few days

    at least on the first one there was really only one way it could have happened under reasonable assumptions (mainly, that the white queen had just been taken). I'm not sure it works very well for the Wordle format, although it is fun as a puzzle otherwise.

    That's quite challenging for a first puzzle, though it is a well-known mate. Guessed in 3 tries

    The experiment is cool, but after this first attempt I wonder if it's not going to be too easy to guess in just one try lots of times.
