Study a chess position, then rebuild it from memory
Memory Chess shows you a chess position for a few seconds, clears the board, and you put the pieces back. Version 2.0 is our biggest update yet: a daily board everyone plays once, a skill rating that moves both ways, a dashboard of your memory span and progress, shareable round replays, and a redesign in 24 languages.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Bing, the solo developer behind Memory Chess.
We launched here about a year ago and placed 5th. Since then the game has grown from about 100 to about 1,800 players a month, and many of the changes in 2.0 started as a sentence in the feedback box.
What's new:
• A daily board. Everyone gets the same position once a day, with one try and its own leaderboard. Monday is gentle, it gets harder through the week, and Sunday is one big board. • A skill rating that moves both ways. The old one only went up, so everyone drifted to the top. Now each board has a difficulty, and your rating is the board you rebuild about 70% correctly. • A dashboard with your memory span, accuracy trend, the squares you miss most and your streak. Your round history stays in your browser, and you can export it. • A result screen that shows what each round did to your numbers, and a link that replays your round piece by piece. • A full redesign, in 24 languages.
I'd love your feedback: 1. Does your rating feel fair after 5 to 10 rounds? 2. Does one try at the daily board feel right, or too harsh? 3. What would make you come back tomorrow?
