Well done
One request would be to have a hint where you just indicate which piece to move, but not where it goes.

Lost confidence in the puzzles
If I’m going to spend hours trying to figure out a “mate in 2” puzzle, then it better really be that… puzzle #17..illustrated London news is bogus…the “solution’ is in NO way a forced mate on the other side..it relies on black making an UNFORCED dumb move to “solve” it… I even used a chess engine to double check that the puzzle is bogus…
