Daily disappearing-board chess puzzles. Join Puzzle Club for the daily archive, weekly packs, and unlimited hints.
ChessHole is a minimalist chess-inspired puzzle game where every move destroys the square you leave behind.
This is not normal chess. There is no checkmate, no opponent, and no opening theory. Instead, each chess piece becomes a movement tool in a disappearing-floor puzzle. Move the rook down a corridor, jump a knight over broken ground, preserve a bishop diagonal, and plan the final safe squares before the board collapses behind you.
The goal is simple: clear every unoccupied tile without stranding your pieces.

Every move costs a square. Spend the board wisely.
