Possible Errors in Book
- Problem 1071 seems to be mate-in-one (Nc7). I've re-labeled it from mate-in-two to mate-in-one.
- Problem 1325 seems to have two light-square white bishops. This error isn't present in the 1994 edition.
- Problem 4362 seems to be mate-in-two. I've re-labeled it from mate-in-three to mate-in-two.
