Body: <p>Its surprisingly hard to find chess puzzles where the solution is not necessarily tactic resulting in checkmate or a heavy win of material.  The problem with these tactical puzzles is that they do not simulate a real game where the best move may be something less exciting.  Does anyone know of any good books or online resources for puzzles with solutions representing a wider variety of types of moves?</p>
