I noticed that Wikipedia has a good article on zugzwang in chess, and mentions its use in problems... but only has examples from games.
Would anyone care to recommend some good ZZ problems for inclusion?

I can look for more if these don't suit you.

Here's a zugzwang that always impressed me...
Though the zugzwang itself might be overlooked, to double this classic theme without using a threat is impressive.
Kukainis, 1938
 (= 7+14 )
Mate in 3.

The start position of that 3-er is so ugly its attractive. :)
