Editorial interest 75/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Outpost is a daily puzzle where you place chess pieces across colored regions without letting any piece capture another.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-20 issue.

For: Chess players who enjoy daily constraint puzzles
Worth noticing: Pieces that can capture another turn red; pawns face the top.

Field notes

The instructions describe two ways to interact with the board: tap to mark a square unavailable, then tap again to place a piece, or drag to mark several squares at once. Conflicts are indicated by pieces turning red, and the page specifies that pawns face the top. The homepage says the iPhone app includes 112 teaching levels, an archive of past daily puzzles, and iCloud-synced streaks.
