If you got my post of 1700 Positions in PGN then you should have around 400 Tactical Problems, 828 Endgame , and Nearly 500 Positional. I would like to Reduce this more as in some cases the side to move was already lost and the move to find didn't change a thing.... so the more of these that are removed the better. If the positions that aren't from games can be isolated , and the positions were the move given doesn't matter cause of a lost position then i think it would be possible to create a better test set than the LCT II.
