I’ve been making puzzles lately, but recently I’ve been having a hard time with some ideas, so feel free to give me some and I might make them! (Does not have to be very specific, just ideas)

Hi, I saw your puzzle here. It's a good one. Here is a puzzle of similar type (if you can't see it the fen is this: 2r1r1b1/R7/3R1K1k/N5N1/5P2/2n1P3/2p3BN/2q5 w - - 0 1 ). I also made some puzzles with similar themes (example puzzle - my best yet, and a blog with a number of similar puzzles). In most puzzles with knight chasing kings as a theme, some interesting ideas which appear very commonly: (1) chasing the opponent king to long distances, sometimes chasing it around simply to bring it back to the original position [as in your puzzle], and (2) checks near the king with a piece pawn protected or unprotected (so this could be a sacrifice or giving up a pawn, or simply a pawn check for chase to work). How about similar mate/chase sequences with (1) and (2), but with two bishops play the central role instead of two knights?

I don't see your puzzle(s) at the link. Can you give another link or puzzle/fen here?

It was a link to a comment number, and a user got banned meaning comments were deleted and the numbers changed. I think it might have been this, https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/a-general-chess-discussion-thread?page=24#comment-124943446

or the one slightly before it in the page.
