They are a bit harder. I would say from 1300-1800. on Page 2 of this thread I gave a link to simpler ones. Try those first.
As for solutions. No. I am doing those puzzles also so what I do is open them up in a chess program like fritz, solve them in my head and then let the computer solve them and compare the two solutions.
I tried the same method what you mentioned, I figure out some solution but when playing with Fritz it make different moves, avoiding my solution.
I searched the net and found references to these puzzles in other forums. It looks that it has caused some headache to many beginner.

It is like new, very good deal. It has a funny note inside, indicating that someone must had got it for birthday from a girlfriend and probably they broke up soon. Why else anyone would sell such a good gift?

Do at least 5 problems a day and then read your book. I do this and it only takes maximum 25 mintures will all the compture analysing and saving etc...
25 min is nothing. Then you can read your book.

Question for you Rahim, or anyone
what does all the infomation on an opening database mean? The percentage figure is kinda obvious. But what about the 2 diff ratings and the year etc?
Don't feel like typing everything out.
