I propose the addition of Chess Puzzles Option to Dark Knight
The addition of Chess Puzzles is very important. As it is well known, Chess is not like many other games, to improve in the game, you need to understand different positions and different variations. Chess Puzzles help in this regard, as these puzzles will provide different positions for Chess players to study and solve. If the Chess player is unable to solve the puzzle, then the solution is provided, therefore teaching the chess player the right combinations and ways to play in different positions and circumstances.
