CM6000.01 Tutorial mistakes In the Strategy tutorial Pg 67- There is a mistake in the suggested alternative on page 68. 1.Rh1 only delays the win. After 1.Rh1Kg7 white would have to play 2.Rc1(d1) anyway in order to get to b8. 161- The 1.Qe2 should not have a ? after it. 195- The rest of the pieces should be on the squares because white has alternatives otherwise. 255- The F7 pawn should be on F6. 257- The move numbers should be one number higher. 261- There is a mistake in the commentary. It should say "e" file instead of "c" file. The pawn should not be shown on d3 because it was played to d4 and captured. In the Seirawan tutorial Pg 133- There is a mistake in the word "go". It is missing the letter "o". 168-177 A white pawn should not be on c4 171-. There is a wrong audio comment. It should say 2.....Rc7. 204-209 The black pawn on c7 should be on c5 and the black pawn on f7 should be on f6. 229-230 The black pawn on c7 should be on c5. 353-356 There is a missing black knight on c6. 582-597 The black pawn on g7 should be on g6. 597- The wrong knight is shown delivering mate. In the Brain Teasers tutorial Pg 7- Missing black bishops on h1 and b8.. Black rook should be on d4 instead of e4. 8- Black rook should be on d4 instead of e4. 12- Black pawn should be on a2 instead of c2 22- Missing black pawn on e5. 24- Missing black pawn on e5 25-26 This brain teaser doesn't make sense because of 1....Qxb3. 106-145 Missing black bishop on a4. 163-170 Missing black bishop on h2. 291-294 Missing black pawn on a3. 355 The word "with" is left out after the word "dealing". 371-372 Black bishop should be on e6 and black pawn should be on g7. 373-377 Black pawn should be on g7 instead of g8 and black bishop should be on f8. 378-379 Pawn on g8 should be a black bishop. 593-600 There should not be a pawn on f4. -- Komputer Korner
