I found an online chess editor that lets you arrange the board and download a jpg of the position. Too cool!
This might be useful for open threads or general chess discussion posts. When I’m really, really in practice, I’m maybe a 1500. Still, I like to read about chess events, opening schemes, endgame theory, chess history, and blah blah blah.
Here’s 4 chess problems: White to move, mate in 2. Hints below the fourth problem.
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)

Hmm. Not a lot of variety, there. Oh well.

Best effort, scrolling over hints.
1 Q x KN too easy
2 Q x Rg8
3 Q x Kn
4 Q x b
