what good, cleaned tactical testsets are available?
I published ECM-GCP quite a while ago, and I'm basically looking for something similar, or the same, but a bit more cleaned out. Surely in the meantime some more cooks must have been found there, or someone else must have come up with something similar.
Any hints?
Here are 50 positions from the Rebel tactics contest of a few years ago. I don't know if it is clean, but knowing Ed, i assume it is.
