Give the position a minute.
We want the puzzle experience to begin with the board, not a dashboard of things competing for your attention. Look for the threat. Notice the loose piece. Work through the line. The intention is to make a short session feel complete, whether you solve the position straight away or need another look.
Learn from the answer.
A useful puzzle experience should help you understand why a move works. We are considering hints and explanations that appear when you choose them, so you can think independently before asking for help. The exact learning tools and content sources are still part of the design process.
Return because you enjoy it.
A puzzle routine does not need to turn into a race. We are interested in progress that encourages curiosity rather than pressure to keep a streak alive. Difficulty, saved progress and connections to online puzzle services have not been confirmed. Your feedback can help us decide what belongs in the first version.
