[facmksrm] Avoiding checkmate

A standard chess problem format is Mate in N.  Mate in N+1 is not considered a solution.

The dual problem type is to avoid mate in N, successfully solving the problem even if the opponent can inflict mate in N+1.

Practice your defensive tactics.

Automatically generate good problems of this form where the key defending moves are not "obvious".
