While solving endgames exercises that were not challenging to me, I was pleased that those on a single page in Sergey Ivashchenko,
The Manual of Chess Combinations (1997)* offered modest challenge and each position applied an idea distinct from the ideas in the other exercises. I say they were not challenging, but one of them required most of the five minutes I expended working through the set. I copied the page (178) and presented it as a puzzle contest for participants in the Groundhog Gambit youth chess tournament the next day. One brother sister team turned in a sheet with all answers correct and won a chess endgame book.
My after school chess club may see these on Tuesday.
