I'm also confused about this. What is special about these 50 positions ?
What happened to the other original ECM positions ?

Looking at the suite, I recognize several positions for which there were
cooks, or were controversial, in the original "ECM Errata" discussion.
For example: no. 131 (g4 was recognized as a cook), no. 228 (Bxg3 is an
easy cook), no. 145 (Rf2 is better), and more. I'm worried that much of
the information gathered in the first pass is getting lost.

In the "ECM errata" thread, I took the positions, in several
installments, and posted them for discussion. The positions that are not
mentioned are those that Junior solves, or that I verified to be
correct, so those not mentioned should be kept. The positions I did post
had some problem with them, and I said what I think needs to be done
with them (drop, add solution, or change). In some cases the forum
(including Howard) showed me wrong. In almost all cases we reached
consensus. I was thinking of the ECM98 posting as the editting of all
this discussion.

Howard, why not use the "ECM errata" threads, based on what was said in
them ? If there are positions where the thread did not reach consensus,
make the ruling yourself. It would be useful to have beside the full
ECM98 suite a delta report vs. original ECM.
