I do not know whether the test will reflect strength of a program in real endgames (time will tell), but I am sure that the positions are wonderful to work with. There are many themes that are very important. As steffen said, lot of work to be done. Endgame is something I barely touched in my program and will use your positions eventually. The interesting thing is that there several that I consider myself to use them! For instance Karpov Ng2 is a position that made a strong impression on me for a long time. Shirov's Bxh3 and the couple that you have from Rubinstein (a true giant on the endgame) are really good. Regards, Miguel PS: I like the one that you create that starts with Bh3!
