Does anybody know of books about positional chess problems? I mean
those books that say: white (or black) to move and get a positional
winning position. All book I have seen of this type are only tactics
problems collections.
thx.

I have read in some moment:
(some of them were published more than 20 years ago)

"The best move" by Vlastimil Jansa and Vlastimil Hort
A very nice book, extraordinaire!

A book from Larsen with 3 chapters (tactics, endings and plans)
(I don't remember the title, ... but interesting chapter)

"Test your positional play" by Bellin and Ponzetto
(30 test of plans)

Another try is the Botvinnik colection of "selected games" hiding the
text and trying to find the moves and plans.

I think some of those books are in pgn version in some sites.

I think Teschner & Miles "It's Your Move" had non-tactical positions.
Unfortunately my copy has long since disappeared in a house move,
and I think it's now out of print, but a library might find it for you.

According to
http://www.bcmchess.co.uk/reviews/bcmrev9905.html
"John Nunn's Chess Puzzle Book" might be both suitable & available.

The Bellin and Ponzetto book Test Your Positional Play is one. The new
Dorfman book is another.

Have a look at
IM Jacob Aagaard and his brandnew
"Excelling at positional chess";
published by EverymanChess, London (2003)
www.everymanchess.com

The book offers 108 positional exercises;
level "advanced" to "WCh" I would say.
