Fine's book is riddled with errors. There is a published pamplet of corrections,
although it wasn't done with benefit of computer analysis AFAIK. If you turn
tablebases on, you will find that many problems have different solutions that
what Fine gives, or multiple solutions. Fine's book has many good points, and
IMO is valuable to humans trying to learn about endgames, but I really don't
recommend using the problems to test computer programs.
