Jouni,

Thanks for the info.  I occasionally use this test set, but was unaware of such
errors.  Is there any listing of which ones are flawed, so that adjustments (or
a new set) may be made?  Speaking of which, how does one make such a test set,
with embedded solutions, etc, like in the Marathon set?  Can you use Chessbase
9?  (I have that)  I would like to be able to make such a self-scoring set, like
the Marathon set, with positional problems, endgame problems, etc.  It would be
nice to have!  Thanks for any info you can give.  This is something I've been
wondering about for a while....

Mark
