Wouldn't it be nice if you had a program which would generate mate-in-N
puzzles and commented solutions?

Perhaps there is a simple hueristic for looking at a few pieces on the
board and saying, "this position is interesting and nontrivial" or
saying, "this is not an interesting postion."  Then you could start
placing pieces at random, see if they are interesting, then see if they
are solvable.
