how do you guys make chess picture postions on this site?do you guys use something like chessbaselight to make the pictures of the positions?
For example [fen*]8/pppppppp/rnbqk3/5bnr/RNBQK3/5BNR/PPPPPPPP/8[*/fen] would create this diagram

You used to be able to cheat in chess tactics server (http://chess.emrald.net/) as the fen of the answer was shown in the source code. The trick was to start the tactic then quickly reset your computers clock to an earlier time (so you didn't get timed out), view the source code, highlight and copy the fen of the answer, paste the fen into a chess programme to see the resulting position then go back to CTS and make the move. Much easier to solve the puzzle though and they made have made it harder to do this now!
