Re: how to implement chess puzzle in a website

Good quality puzzles would need to be hand generated.

But I imagine you could auto-generate something like "mate in 5 moves".

You could use flash or javascript to format it. I would lean towards flash, but that is just me.

The puzzles could be stored in a mysql database and queried via php. Just a table with date and piece positions.
