Here are five positions that give you an indication of how strong your engines
are in endgames.

White to move, and it's a draw.

The first one is very easy. Every program should find it, even without tbs.

[D] 8/8/8/8/8/7n/6Kn/k6r w - - 0 1

The next two are harder. But a good program ought to make it, if it get some
time.

[D] 1k6/ppr5/2b5/8/1KB5/8/7R/8 w - - 0 1
[D] 8/8/7p/3KNN1k/2p4p/8/3P2p1/8 w - - 0 1

The last two are studies, and very difficult. They are probably unsolvable by
programs.

[D] Kn6/8/8/3R2PB/8/2p2NP1/1q6/2k5 w - - 0 1
[D] 6R1/P2k4/r7/5N1P/r7/p7/7K/8 w - - 0 1
