Why pay 💰 for a weaker copy? We made the original Puzzle Rush stronger with a new Tournament mode. Oh and it’s free and unlimited too forever. 😘 https://t.co/DNSWuM0cjv
Congratulations to 14 yr old Andy Woodward for defeating defending Chess Puzzle World Champion @RayShayRobson to win the 2025 title.
It fills me with pride to know a format I invented is now a competitive esport that has a big audience and elite players.
##PuzzleChamps
@RayShayRobson is top seed again this year for the #ChessPuzzlesWorldChamps
Feels weird that all the GMs are playing a game feature I developed 16 years ago that was adopted by @chesscom into this slick mind sport.
@VBkramnik@VBkramnik puzzle rush from @chesscom is a bastardisation of a chess puzzle game created by @pcmguru called @chessmastercube
In Chess Master Cube you have tougher chess puzzles and no external timer. Just an internal clock that uses response time and success rate to assess you.
@Chesscom have settled with @pcmguru the co-creator of #PuzzleRush.
And undisclosed amount was paid to Michael Mkpadi for his role in inventing Puzzle Rush Chess feature.
The feature was introduced on the @chesscom website in the fall of 2018. It quickly became a popular feature.
My name is Michael Chukwuma Mkpadi and I am the inventor of a chess puzzle app that became known as puzzle rush.
I never wanted to build it to make money but to make chess more fun. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect that @chesscom would adopt my humble app & make it global.
