Hello
Over the past 2 months I have posted 30 chess puzzles and ~50 people have subscribed to the daily chess puzzle feed but in the last two weeks I have been letting the quality of the posts slip there has been at lest 4 bugs in the last two week and thats not fair to my readers.
I will no longer be posting regular daily chess puzzles any more. I will however post the really good ones that I come across every once in a while.
Feed free to submit any good chess puzzles that you come across. (FEN, PNG, ect)
Please contact me if you would like to take over the daily chess puzzle feed. I would give full credit for any puzzle that you submit and I have set up a bunch of tools to easily create the chess puzzle images from FEN numbers.
