This is the section that has the error. -- The first line that starts with "42. b4" is the one with the error. Right before the semicolon at the end of the line, put a '2'. So, the whole line should say: 42. b4:Incorrect. The correct answer was Bf5.:2; Then save the file. Congratulations, you've completed your own patch! ;-) jm
