Chess N-Back

A 3×3 n-back trainer using chess pieces and coordinates. At each step a random piece appears on one square and a coordinate is played (like b2). Your job is to spot matches with the item n steps ago: piece color, piece type, board position, and played coordinate.

Board & stream
Select an n-back level and round length, then start. A new stimulus appears every few seconds. Press a match button only when the current item matches the one n steps back in that specific category.
Time left 30 s
N-back level 1-back
Choose an n-back level and duration, then press “Start round”.
Score & stats
Each button press is logged as correct or wrong for that specific category. If you forget to click when there is a match that will also count as a mistake.

The grid uses a1–c3 coordinates (like a miniature chessboard). N-back level controls how many steps back you compare: in 2-back, for instance, you’re matching the item from two moves ago.

Levels 5–6-back are mostly meme territory / grandmaster flex mode — try them if you dare, but don’t blame us if your brain resigns.
