Creating Puzzles on Chess Dot Com

Hello,

Can anyone walk through the steps of creating a puzzle on Chess Dot Com?

I have a book of tactics that I would like to start inputting into the platform here.

All previous instructions seem to refer to items (such as "themes") that I cannot find.

In a comment select the chess board icon.

Then first set up the board and second, select the moves you want as part of the puzzle.  The following screenshots are assuming you are setting up the position manually, so you select "Setup position."  If you know FEN there are ways to insert there.

Finally, you have to select the box for puzzle at the end, under THEME.

By the way, you can also insert an FEN instead of setting up the board manually.

You can see the options on the first screen that opens up with the chessboard.

Thank you -

When I follow these steps, I get a grey box with a pencil icon in it.  Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

You are not doing anything wrong.  When you post the topic, it will appear as you intended.  That is just a placeholder for where the puzzle will be in your comment.

Try it in this forum if you would like to practice. happy.png
