Am interested in any sources, books, dvd, online collections ect.  Thoughts on or insights to this element of chess are welcomed here also. 

The subtleness of these problems is something I enjoy. 

They can be difficult to spot, at least for me, but perhaps a little more rewarding and esthetically pleasing once solutions are discovered, then the avarage study.

Thanks in advance for any leads or thoughts.

Zugzwang puzzles can be tricky. This what I learned from chessmagnet school. Ask yourself this,   "If I could pass on my move what would my opponent do?  This can point you in the right direction!

The scariest one of all:  mutual zugzwang...

Here a situation of mutual Zugzwang.

Black play and White wins.

If it were his move White would lose.
