Checkmate Rewind

Every case starts at the end: a chess game is over, and the final position is the only evidence. Take the moves back one by one – return captured pieces, undo castling, en passant and promotions – and restore the starting position in exactly the number of moves the case allows. Learn the backwards moves in 8 short lessons, then crack 55 handcrafted cases, from quick blunders to famous opening traps. A new case every day comes from real Lichess games.
