That's right. Etudes are super cool! And since I now have a never ending flow of beautiful etudes (given to me by my coach), I thought I should share some of them here
if you have some you wanna share, please do post them here!To start of, this gem:

And another one. One could argue about this being an etude, but in any case, it is very aesthetically pleasing

All of the etudes I post will be white to move, unless specifically stated differently
Good question though, I shoulda said that in the OP.

correct!
I think etudes and studies are the same. I knew that etudes probably isn't what it's called in English but I was drawing a blank on the actual name. TY

correct sir That 3rd move and the idea behind is definitely a hard one to see, well done!
to wlrs: I don't know what is the correct way of doing it, but when I would solve etudes my coach would just give me the position and tell me who's move is it. Whether to play for a draw or a win is then for you to figure out yourself, just like in the game. I always thought that is the difference between studies and lets say simple tactical problems
If that is not how it should be done lemme know and I'll say whether white draws/wins.
