Point value of the exercises. (General)

Session 4, Intermediate consists of 15 problems with a maximum total points of 15 so not all problems are of an equal value. (the average is 3.667 points)

It would be nice to know, while doing the problem, what the points are and what is the penalty for each time you fail to get the correct answer.

Many of the problems have good alternate solution but not as good as the one actually played. Some points should be given for this. In time pressure if I see a sure win of a rook and a possible win of a queen if I had enough time to check it out, I choose the rook win. Unfortunately at 71 I do not plan to be a grandmaster. Second best winning moves does give one a nice warm feeling.
