Battle of the Minds

Chess puzzles against a clock. Battle of the Minds sets you a position where something decisive is available — mate, material, a winning endgame — and gives you three or six minutes to solve as many as you can. Speed scores, so the game rewards the pattern you recognize instantly over the line you calculate carefully, which is a different skill from playing chess and a better way to get stronger at it. No openings, no endgame technique, no opponent thinking on their own time: just position, move, next.
