Ecm98 is the finished product of many of the members of this CCC site (Amir Ban in particular). If you download ECM98 the ID numbers start at number 1, so for the postions you entered you must first subtract 938. So your 1075 is ECM98's 137. I did a quick check on your first five that you listed but only 1080 (142) and 1188 (250) are present in ECM98. That would indicate that we found errors there or multiple solutions that were too easy. We also changed some of the solutions to better ones based on the consensus of the contributors here on CCC (Bruce, Amir, Bob, Ernst, Don, Christophe, Wren and myself worked on this. Sorry if I missed someone - it was a nice group project. I even received numerous emails of how programs did on it and suggestions as to further refinements).
