I am regularly disappointed by the errors in the chess lessons I follow on this site. Equal, sometimes even superior alternatives are red flagged and rejected. Time to revisit it and have Stockfish run through all the material. This morning, the only correct move in a lesson was blocked by the interface while all other moves were accepted. When asked for the solution, the interface played the very same move to solve the problem. Such errors in the lessons should have been ironed out after so many years on the road.
By the way, kind of strange to place this message under "general discussions" but I couldn't find an appropriate forum to place it.
The lessons were called Chess Mentor when they were originally published back in the 90's. The publisher went bankrupt and the current owner bought the chess.com URL and the rights to publish the Chess Mentor lessons in 2005. Chess.com dropped the Chess Mentor name from its menu last year and now simply calls them lessons.
The Chess Mentor forum remains available, confusing an endless stream of people. A number of functional elements, like the key squares buttons, broke when V3 came along.
Still, they remain quite usable. I would send your correction to support@chess.com. They may get around to revising them at some point.
