Hi Jeff..
I have that book of over 1800 diagrams (with all of the solutions given), the
problems ae excellent;
however, I found that many of the moves are too dificult for most of my programs
to find...
I got too tired of waiting, etc.

If you set it for 30 min, each, then you probably will run into a whole bunch of
easy ones that take just 3 min. or so to find...and so it goes..:-)

YOu end up wasting too much time...

You are better off to pick out afew that look good to you, and then work on
those..

best regards.
