Winter's 'Unsolved Chess Mysteries'

In my previous post, Naming the Opening Variations, I linked to 'Edward Winter presents: Unsolved Chess Mysteries (11) [1 August 2007]' on Chessbase.com. How many editions of 'Unsolved Chess Mysteries' were eventually posted? With the help of Google, I discovered 28.
