I have made numerous attempts to solve some of the problems contained in this suite. I tried some of the easier ones a year ago, on a P6/200, and had the following results: Position 11 found in 14 minutes, had a draw score an hour later, but after 3.5 hours had dropped back to -1.3. I ran position 5 for four days and didn't find it. Position 1 found in 2 hours, after 5 hours had a score of -0.44 but a pretty good looking line. Position 10 found in about 11 hours, with a positive score and a good line. Position 4 not found in a day or so. Position 2 found in 24 hours with a huge positive score. Position 7 not found in a day or so. Position 8 not found in a half hour (I don't know why I didn't run it longer). The last few weeks I've tried some more, with a PII/300 and this year's version of my program. Position 7 found with a draw score and a very unconvincing line in 4 hours 40 minutes. Position 4 found in 3 hours 40 minutes with a score of +0.63 and a good line. I ran position 5 for several days, and didn't get e5. Mine prefers to play Nf3, eventually with a score of +2, but e5 is almost certainly the right move, judging from DT's result. bruce
