I've posted this before, so if you remember it you can now forget
it again. 

I wonder if anyone can help me find some simple examples of two
endgame ideas:

 - if you overpress, you risk losing ("playing for the loss" - Tarrasch)

 - the need to get activity or counterplay as defender

I suppose I could make something up but a practical example is always
more convincing. Can anyone help?  

There are some nice examples of the latter which I found an old
magazine article by Edmar Mednis, but they are rather too complicated
for my audience. 

Thanks again to folk who have helped me in the past - I couldn't
manage half as well without this group!
