A mid-game position example
Here are some advantages of this approach:
- The board is flipped automatically so it's easier to present the position as a puzzle;
- The key position doesn’t have to be from the same game so it could be slightly different to illustrate the basic idea better;
- The user has a quick way of jumping back to the key position at any time while replaying the game.

Overnight Chess Tactic
Many of the lines above seem (at least to me) not quite human. Isn't it amazing how the whole Black's army is still on the board and yet not being able to protect its King?

Thursday chess tactic
Here is the link to the actual game Ferenc Berkes vs Nana Dzagnidze
The position above is after 37.Kf1 but I found the beginning of the attack, four moves earlier (after white's 33.Bf4), really amazing.
