Creating A Different Kind of Puzzle

Please forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong forum--I figure the people posting puzzles would know best.

I want to create a puzzle. But, the prior move must be known, so the solver can be aware that en passant is a possible move. (opponent pawn has just advanced 2 squares). I don't see a way to do this.

Also, the default "mate in 1" puzzle verbiage gives the puzzle away. The idea is, I want a "play your best move" with other options being tantalizing.

Obviously this would be a 'just for fun' puzzle for players in about the 1100-1200 range, but the idea is, white wins with en passant discovered double checkmate.

So. Do I have to be a paying member to get the 2 options I'm looking for, or, is there no way to do it period.

Thank you,
Tom

I don't think you need to be a paying member. I'm not a subscriber, and I was able to click on and get into the Create Puzzle area. After that it's just a matter of creating the puzzle. I've never done it, so hopefully it's more or less self explanatory.

Thanks for replying. I've already done that. I'm looking for options that are not available but hoping if I'm a paid member they will become available.

Thank you!

The puzzle thingy is a new feature of the site, and it probably hasn't got fully developed yet. I would expect that subs and nonsubs have equal facilities here.
