Printing Chess Puzzles

I am coaching first through third graders and want a program that will allow me to layout six chess puzzles on a page with a few lines of instructions and print them out. I strongly preffer using a Mac. I've downloaded chessx but that is difficult to use for this purpose. Can anyone recommend a program that is free or very inexpensive?

Hi David, i think this is going to be useful for your case chessgo puzzles

But it is 9 puzzles instead of 6. And the there are thousands of puzzles that change on every refresh.

This reliance on technology is ridiculous.

Go back in time. How would you do it without electricity.

You would need a board with cross stitch pattern for black squares.

You need a chess set with black and white pieces, with a thin white border around it.

You need a pair of scissors to cut out the pieces.

You need a bottle of Elmer's glue to glue the pieces on the board.

You need a pen to write instructions.


Hmm.

You can do all that electronically on PowerPoint.

I can quickly draw a chess piece with a stencil on black or white construction paper.

And crank out copies on a "mimeograph" machine.

When in doubt, think how people did it originally.
