Over the past few months, I’ve been working on a small passion project during evenings and weekends - a chess puzzle game called Endspiel. It’s not a full-blown chess engine or anything like that - just a simple game focused on solving chess puzzles in a clean, minimalistic UI.

I built the entire game solo in under 4 months, mostly in my spare time after work. The game is written entirely in C++. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, and also in the browser (via WebAssembly). I used my own cross-platform game framework, which I originally developed for a previous project. It’s partially based on SDL2 (except on Windows, where I use native APIs).

If anyone’s interested, you can play it here: https://endspiel.online/play/

More details here: https://endspiel.online

Also available on App Store and Google Play

Please give it a try! Any feedback is welcome:)

That’s really impressive work — building a full cross-platform chess puzzle game solo in just a few months is no small feat! 🎯 The clean design and smooth performance are great. I’ll definitely give it a try — looks like a perfect way to sharpen tactics without the clutter.

I’ve been messing around with different puzzle mechanics lately, and this Endspiel concept is actually pretty cool — love how it pushes you to think a few moves ahead even when the board looks “simple.” While digging into similar logic-based games, I stumbled on https://pin-up-casino.ng/, which oddly enough has a few mini-games that use the same kind of quick decision-making mindset. Totally different vibe, but it kinda sharpened the same skills. Anyway, curious to see how this project evolves — the clean layout already feels promising.
