@mchill saidThe book I have to hand is "Pick of the Best Chess Problems." compiled by B.P.Barnes ISBN 0-7160-2002-5. The printing is from 1991 so I don't know if it's even still in print. They're all Meredith problems, white to play and mate in two with between 8 and 12 pieces. Here's the first one from the book:
Hello - In the the back of most (if not all) Informants their is a series of middlegame problems called "combinations" i.e. Combinations with mating attack, Combinations to reach a draw etc. My question is. Does anyone know of a book or online site with more of these types exercises?
The caption underneath is "Ladies First" and it was composed by Mrs. W.J. Baird and first appeared in Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News in 1902.
John Nunn had produced a collection of tactical problems as has Judith (Susan?) Polgar. So if you search on Amazon for their books you'll definitely find a collection.
