Placemate Chess

One piece. One square. Mate.

$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Five new puzzles every day. One piece, one square, one mate: exactly one right answer. Every chess puzzle app asks the same question: what is the best move? Placemate asks the opposite one. You are handed a single piece. The board is already set. Find the one empty square where dropping that piece is immediate checkmate. There is exactly one right square. Every puzzle in the app is verified to have precisely one solution. No second answers, no near enough. DAILY Five puzzles a day, ordered easiest to hardest, the same five for everyone. Three guesses each. Share your result grid when you are done. LADDER Keep solving as it gets harder. Three lives. See how far you climb. RATING Solve on the first try and your rating rises. Miss and it falls. Your whole history is kept in the app, dated, with the movement on every entry. TWENTY ACHIEVEMENTS From your first mate to a perfect week. MAKE IT YOURS Twelve piece sets and twelve board themes. Every combination is checked for contrast in both light and dark mode, so nothing is ever hard to read. PLAYS ANYWHERE No account. No ads. No internet connection: not on first launch, not ever. Nothing about you leaves your phone, because nothing is collected. Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese and Chinese. Made by singlepeel.com
