Study Time!

   By this I don't mean that it's time for us to study, but time to look
   at and solve some studies. Some time ago, when I was lamenting about
   the 2006 "Study of the Year" (not that it's a bad study, but just one
   that seems unworthy of such an honor), I wrote a prominent study
   composer of my acquaintance. His remark was that while some shared my
   view about the SOTY, there were still plenty of fantastic, accessible,
   gamelike studies being composed, and he passed along four of them. And
   now, I pass them along to you.
