In 10 seconds, on decent hardware, expect to get 500-580, depending on how good you are. I can say for sure for a few that they are wrong. For example, in one case I find differently and it's a mate. In another, it's WAC #210, but with a wrong key (Bb5). Still, if you don't solve, assume it's your own fault. There are some really tough ones there, including at least one from BS2830, one of those that you don't solve. There are also several draw assignments at the end, which are tactical, but depend on your point of view: If you are optimistic, you don't want the draw. Amir
