No, I refuse.
If I can't win in 20 moves then I resign and move on to the next game.

The Lasker puzzle is awesome. I bet Tarrasch was convinced he had a win in that position and didn't analyze it out any further - or so I've read.
The rest of the puzzles here are also pretty good
Check out my endgame blogs, with lots of puzzles
One of my favourites. Actually occurred in a real game (http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1218922)

The last 2 submitted by varelse1 are also "oldies but goodies" howsomever I think a little bit of explanation in the last one is called for (to help memorize the General Principle of this setup, not to help solve it) Namely that it's a win only when the Black King is 4 or more files away from the RP
I guess anyone can figure out how the winning method works after seeing it done with K+B+NP vs K+B but a little explanation there probably don't hurt either, although I guess it would count as a hint in this case.
Post # 5 Endgame study is very beautiful and difficult.
This is a nice one.
Great thread, Isaac! This has been very helpful for me. Endgames are fun. Thanks!
