Couldn't these types of things go in Posers and Puzzles? Not complaining it would just be nice to see some more constructive activity going on in there.

On my rare visits there, I don't see chess puzzles, so I post them here. But, they could go there.

I've recently read all the way through Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual after owning it a full year. Now, I am methodically working through all the examples and exercises. It's laborious work: a few pages per day, and lots of practice against Fritz, as well as human opponents. See Game 1937031.
Then, while I watch television, I ignore the commercials (and some programming) by propping Polgar's mammoth Chess Endgames in my lap.

Intresting. I've read 3 endgame books i think and it seems fine for me right now.
