My app is callled ChessMasterCube.
Here's me introducing it to my chess community in 2013. https://fb.watch/eJRezdshE7/
If you want to play it then go here -> https://chessmastercube.com
If you want to view the original app in the Internet Archive then go here this one is in 2012, 6 years before Puzzle Rush -> https://web.archive.org/web/20121127192343/http://webchessapps.agilityhoster.com:80/compwebchess2.1/liveboard/problemboard1_1.php
I added a ticking clock.

What is super weird is that when I created https://chessmastercube.com I did so in the plain sight of all my chess followers on Facebook (https://facebook.com/chessclublive) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/chessclublive)
I was literally publishing a new version every day based off feedback from people like Candidate Master Joshua Altman.
He, a chess prodigy, was playing the tactics trainer and telling me what he thought worked well and not so well, and I'd create a version just for him. The feedback and discussion is all on twitter from 2013. lol

Copying someone's code is pretty easy without knowing. And apart from patent there is original factor as well which works on whether other copied it or not. Plus, if OP can manage to show that chess.com used his then they would be penalised.
Also, chessmastercube is pretty old site and many have used it's idea. They should at least add reference the original. And patent is not always required. Other side can complain and if they can show then it's serious.
@michuk nothing new here IMO. Chess.com has always been like that. But I agree with @ohcomeon_1 that you can't do anything here.

So all car manufacturers are just copying? I don't think so. That's the problem with the word "copying".
Copy and paste is strg+c and strg+v.
I think chess.com has copied more than your app. I'm not certain, but I don't think they created chess, I think they copied it from somewhere.

You chose a poor example, I used to work for a car manufacturer, we used to make engines for other car manufacturers who were honest and just wanted what we had. Others that weren't so honest tried to reverse engineer our engines and got sued for copying our design without respecting various patents we had.
Try another example lol
the car example is perfect. if the engine has no patent, copying it is risky. after the patent expires, it can be freely copied.
amazon owned the patent to one click purchase, after it expired, everyone copied it.
tetris was copied
fps games were copied
the windows interface with mouse control was a copy
the iphone was copied
it's an endless list.
Its getting deep. So put your boots on.

yes everything worth copying gets copied
chessmaster cube was worth copying so chess.com copied it and created Puzzle Rush
Puzzle Rush got copied and Puzzle Storm was created.
I am happy Lichess benefitted from my innovation and genius. lol
