That being said, there are several chess puzzles that could be manufactured easily by a computer:
  • Forced Mates (Mate in 2, 3, 4, ...)
  • Find Forks
  • Find Skewers
  • Find Hung Piece
  • Pin Pieces
  • Avoid Mate
Probably several more.

We'll be working on adding all sorts of games that you can find in newspapers for Feedbooks, chess will be included somehow sooner or later.

Right now we can already generate random sudokus, here's an example for the iLiad: http://download.feedbooks.com/Random%20Sudoku%20(4-4).pdf

Still got some issues with the generation speed but the rest is ready. Multiple RSS feeds + games should be available as soon as we have a better % of supported RSS feeds.
