Is the name "WM-Test" of Gurevich/Schumacher a correct name?


First by the WM-TEST:

WM-Test Pos. Nr. 55:

[D]5b2/p2k1p2/P3pP1p/n2pP1p1/1p1P2P1/1P1KBN2/7P/8 w - -

Anand vs. Shirov

1. Nxg5!! hxg5 2. Bxg5 Nxb3 3. h4 Na1 4. Bc1 Nb3
5. Be3 Na5 6. g5 Nc4 7. Bc1 +-

Only Nxg5 wins here.

Now the correctly position of the game Anand vs. Shirov:

Anand vs. Shirov:

[D]5b2/p1k2p2/P3pP1p/n2pP1p1/1p1P2P1/1P1KBN2/7P/8 w - -

White can now play 1. Bxg5 or Nxg5 too, and wins!

Original German Text : Den Autoren unterlief ein Fehler. In der WM-Test-Position
steht der schwarze König auf d7. In der Partie Anand - Shirov jedoch steht der
schwarze König auf c7! Wie kann man daher davon sprechen dass der WM Test nur
aus Partien von Weltmeistern zusammengestellt ist?

Internet-Translator:

An error occurred to the authors.  In the WM test position the black king stands
on d7.  In the portion of Anand - Shirov however stands the black king on c7!
How can one speak therefore of it that the WM test only from game of world
champions is arranged?

In der Einleitung zum WM-Test steht original das da:

http://www.computerschach.de/test/index.htm

Original:

Der CSS-Weltmeister-Test von Michael Gurevich, Heinz-Josef Schumacher und
Manfred Meiler besteht aus 100 Aufgaben, die ausschließlich aus Partien von
Weltmeistern stammen.

Internet-Translator:

The CSS world champion test of Michael Gurevich, Heinz Josef Schumacher and
Manfred Meiler consists of 100 tasks, which originate exclusively from games
from world champions.


What do You think about this?
