No.  What I meant is that many of the positions have a bogus solution given.
We did a lot of analysis here (CCC) a couple of years ago and the number of
wrong answers in the test was quite large...  Some might be correct, given
enough analys, but many were simply wrong after overlooking a key move
somewhere in the analysis.

Win at Chess has had its share of 'cooks' as well although we now have a
pretty good version with the cooks that are known.
