March advanced tactical probs for Grandmasters only! (Problems)

Siegrun is a female name!
I'm graded ~ 1600 & find the intermediate difficult (haven't done the March advanced yet). I thought the beginners was slightly easier!

I just did the Daniel King Kramnik game, which had the added feature of not only giving you points, but commenting on your moves as well (thats right & not quite as good) - the personal touch! This reminded me of a math book i read: You had to solve a puzzle & choose one of various given answers. Depending on which answer you gave, you were directed to another page. If you got them all right, you'd get through the book quickly. If you got one wrong, you'd get a few more easier puzzles reinforcing stuff you should have learned earlier...
This would work with a chess game as well, wouldn't it? Once you'd solved a set of easier puzzles, you'd get directed back to the game. GMs have no idea what we are struggling with - to write a book or design an electronic book this way, you'd have to sit down with a beginner.

All the best, Siegrun
