Daily quests are small targets that reset each day: play a game today, win a game today, solve a few more puzzles. Your progress shows in the lobby and on your dashboard.
The point isn't to keep you online but to build a rhythm. In chess, progress comes from fifteen minutes a day, not six hours a month.
How do streaks work?
There are two. Your puzzle streak grows with every day you solve the puzzle of the day. Your win streak counts consecutive victories.
The puzzle streak sits on your profile and dashboard, and your best streak feeds your XP — each streak day is worth 20 XP.
There's no penalty for losing a streak. The counter simply resets and you start again.
Why do small targets work?
Because “I'll study chess today” is vague and “play one game today” isn't. Vague goals get postponed; small, clear ones get done.
There's another reason: you play better in short sessions. Eight blitz games in a row while tired usually costs you rating — which is why the system doesn't try to keep you seated for hours.
What does a daily routine look like?
🧩 One puzzle of the day — keeps the streak alive.
♟️ One rated game — find an opponent.
🔍 One analysis afterwards — see where it went wrong.
Fifteen minutes in total. If you have more time, your training plan already knows the next step.
