Just Plain Wrong

TCT is good but not perfect...

Step 5, exercise 9a, #9 3rd move of Rook to b8 is works just as well as Rook to b7 but is marked as incorrect.

Step 5, exercise 11c, #6 marks Queen to h7 checkmate as incorrect!

I noticed you skipped problem 4. I sometimes do that: skip a problem after X minutes, in order to go back to it. How do you feel about that? I always feel a little guilty, as it seems like I am breaking away from a game-like situation by going to do more problems and coming back to the board. In your experience, does it help to skip over a problem and come back to it?

Interesting question. It can help to take a break and come back later, which for me is only 1/3 of the time.

I don't feel bad about skipping problems, and I do like to first clear out ones I have memorized or know right away. At this point in Step 5, that type of skipping really happens. I now am skipping problems that I just can't wrap my brain around at the moment.

I draw the line at 6 minutes for any one problem. After that much time, I accept it as wrong. This maximum was 10 minutes on the first Circle. That's as much "game-like" attitude I hold myself to per set of 10 problems.
