Don't give up so easily. This does not seem to be a difficult problem.

What kind of puzzles were you looking at? I believe there are several puzzles
available on internet for download for free. Although I am not sure about this.

However, there is another way. Most likely you are looking at tactical puzzles?
Then you can download (for example) Thousands of AEGT /CHESSWAR /RWBC /WBEC
games and take your puzzles from those.

I am sure Heinz, Olivier, Leo won't mind that at all, and you will have a lot of
hot tactical puzzles for free. Not only this, but these puzzles are essentially
free of analysis problems!!

And if you are willing to spare some computer time, run a lot of blitz games and
then take your puzzles from those. Who needs human composed puzzles when you can
get programs to compose them? :)

Hope that helps
