How to Print Chess Puzzles for Kids — Screen-Free Training with AQChess

Step 1: Go to the Puzzle Themes page

From the AQChess website, open the navigation and go to Puzzles → Puzzle Themes, or visit directly: aqchess.com/puzzles/themes.

This page lets you explore tactical puzzles by category and theme — forks, pins, discovered attacks, checkmating patterns, and more.

Step 2: Choose themes and rating range

Next, pick the puzzle themes you want your child to practice — for example:

• Basic checkmates
• Simple tactics like forks and pins
• Beginner-friendly attacking patterns

Then, set a rating range to match their level. You can keep it low for beginners, or increase it as they improve.

Step 3: Click “Export PDF” to generate 100 puzzles

Once you’ve chosen your themes and rating, click the Export PDF button.

AQChess will automatically create a PDF containing a set of 100 chess puzzles in a clean, printable workbook-style layout.

Download the PDF and open it on your computer or device to print.

Step 4: Print, solve on paper, then come back to check answers

Print the PDF and give it to your child like a chess workbook. They can solve each puzzle on paper, away from screens.

When they’re done, return to AQChess to:

• Check the correct solutions
• See which puzzles were solved correctly
• Export the next set of 100 puzzles for continued training

Why printable puzzles are great for kids

• Screen-free practice – perfect for parents who want to limit device time.
• Workbook feeling – kids can circle answers, write variations, and think at their own pace.
• Structured training – 100 puzzles per set makes it easy to build a daily or weekly habit.
• Online tracking – AQChess still lets you track progress once they come back to check solutions.
