In German we write S for Knight (which is called "Springer"). However I don't understand why they should mix languages and still write R, Q, P, ...
Can you post some more of the solution, maybe a few moves, so I can see this in context? Maybe the diagram too?

In the begining of the book it said that S will stand for Knight. I am confused with the '/' What does this mean?
There is also this one too.

Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Elementary. R/S#. Rook takes knight, checkmate.
Q/S/P#. Queen takes knight pawn, checkmate.

in position 11 the first move is Nb5 and after that black has 7 moves to choose from, and after that you can deliver mate with either Q /N or pawn depending of course how black responds.

That would be the one Kco. You can see them all over in the solutions. Specificaly I working on number 1 -_-
Yess its very confusing. Especially after I printed the whole book out to learn since I am barely starting out. Very disappointed that I could understand.

in number1 you can either mate with rook or the knight on move 2.
on move 1 you take Rxe5. since you haven't checked the king. black has all sorts of moves.....and you can mate with Rook /or the knight after black moves.

e.g if black plays Nf3 you have mate with Ne2#
if black plays Be3 you have mate with Rxe3#
since there is a lot of moves black can make. I guess the author didn't go through all of them. this would have made the solution a book on its own. simple stating which pieces can help mating.

you must have inserted the wrong pieces since there is a lot of mate in two or crafty isn't that good.
