Abstract: Posets which are retract of products of chains are characterized by means of two properties: emph{the chain-gap property} and emph{the selection property} (Rival and Wille, 1981 cite {R-W}). Examples of posets with the selection property and not the chain-gap property are easy to find. To date, the Boolean lattice $Power(omeg{a}_1)/Fin$ was the sole example of lattice without the selection property cite {R-W}. We prove that it does not have the chain-gap property. We provide an example of a lattice which has the chain-gap property but not the selection property. This answer questions raised in cite {R-W}.
