I believe these ones can be safely dropped from ECM.

They have one of the following wrong with them:

1. Two equally good key moves that make for a problem that is much too
easy
2. An outright cook in the key move that is found quickly
3. A faulty defense (book error) that make other key moves just as valid
4. The key move leads to nothing really decisive making it not fit the
traditional understanding of what a combination is (also because of a
error in the book).

I'll leave this post up for feedback before I assemble together a new
draft.
Any questions on these deletions?

The new draft will also contain changes made to key moves as well as
a fix to the epd positions that were in error in the original.
