I'm still working on Polgar's 5334 and am determined to go at least through the Mate-in-Threes(most of the rest are game studies, not puzzles). Right now, I am approaching #2600, which is a mate in two. #4462 will finish the Mate-in-Threes. When I get stuck and am reduced to trial and error these are what most confounds me:
1. I call it "cris-cross knights," where the answer is both knights need to move in non-obvious ways and so you can be calculating 8-square possibles followed by the 8-square possibles of the 2nd knight in all possible permutations. Ouch!
2. That one damned square I didn't think to calculate! In Polgar a check on the 1st move is so rare in mate-in-twos I dont even bother to calculate it. Also, getting stuck can be a clue difficulty has increased, so step back and don't use what was working before.

What most contributes to difficulty is any fatigue or distraction on my part. What most helps:another cup of coffee, or walk away for a few and another cup of coffee. It took many, many tries to realize fatigue was my worst enemy, so don't try to force the solution. Force never works. I look forward to learning what this book does for you.

Go figure! I too found a copy on Internet Archive (I know you might not approve) and noodled around using the same tools on whether it would be do-able and worth it. I got well over a hundred pages into it by a very laborious process, but that did not bring over any of the vital illustrations with it. Also, the formatting of the book(sort of half-page double-column text) was the devil to work with and basically doubled the pagination. So, with my limited skills, perhaps do-able. But your follow-up post confirms to me this Sysiphean labor is best put aside.

Thanks for that! Had the devil of a time getting my copy of Malwarebytes to exclude what it thought was a threat from Quality? You probably know this but FWIW, there are at least 3 copies of Typische Fehler, Pub. Sportverlag up for sale on Ebay, cheap too. But you have to poke around to find them. One is up on Amazon also.

[EDIT: Don't I wish this title was in ebook format. Then it might be possible to convert to PDF and translate to preferred language.]

Wow! Tantalizing table of contents. Any chance it is available in English? Whether OOP or not.

Not a puzzle book and not really what you're looking for I suppose, but there's also Invisible Moves by Afek & Neiman, which makes an attempt at categorizing hard to see manoeuvres, analyzes why they're hard to see and gives instructive games.
I think I first heard about Invisible Moves on this forum, so you probably already know it.

In a way, you could do this on SCID or somesuch database by searching for similar positions, perhaps? Of course, the search term has to be programmed searchable in the first place. But if you could cull out a list of similar positions you might then be able to assemble a relevant database and turn that into a e-book teaching tool.(nothing to it, right? ) I would buy that faster than a backwords-moving bishop! "5,334 Positions You Don't Ever Seem to Solve", by AOC.

I see similar facts mentioned here and there. What I am looking for is a resource that gathers them in one place. There is so much written on chess, maybe someone has done this work. I'm open to other languages. I wouldn't be surprised if there is something like this in Russian.

Ultimately what I wish for would be a diagnostic puzzle book with each puzzle tagged with a bunch of themes. After solving all the puzzles you look up the themes for the ones you missed and if you missed a particular theme more than others then you could get another puzzle book focusing just on that theme. There are plenty of puzzle books organized by theme, but not with themes like "backwards diagonal move", "lateral attack", etc. As a substitute I am using mate-in-two puzzles because the key moves are generally not game-like, so I get lots of examples of counter-intuitive moves, and also lots of examples where I missed them, or at least took a long time to find them.

They can't be all that deadly because I commit each of those sins every game, yet sometimes I still manage to draw or even win.

Seriously though, thanks, will try to look at Rowson.
