8 TikTok slideshow ideas for a chess app
Photo slideshows are the lowest-effort format that still reaches owners of chess mobile apps on TikTok. Each idea below is a first-slide hook in the native style; build 5 or 6 slides behind it that tell one small story.

How to turn these into posts that convert
Post 3 5 slideshows per week. Focus on quick chess puzzles (white to move), insane checkmates, or before after rating climbs. Use a consistent hook template like 'pov: you just found mate in 3' to build familiarity. Avoid long explanations. Keep each slide 1 3 words. Let the chess speak for itself.
Timing: Post daily at 6 PM EST on weekdays when commuters and students scroll after school or work.
