I presumed everyone knew where to get the Louguet test suite. Sorry. Here is a
link given in WCCR (look at Computer Chess Resource Center at top right of
screen): http://www.icdchess.com/wccr/testing/index.html
There you will find quite a bit on this suite and others.
As for the position in question, here it is in FEN:
rnbq2k1/p1r2p1p/1p1p1Pp1/1BpPn1N1/P7/2P5/6PP/R1B1QRK1 w - - 0 1
This was played by GM Anatoly Vaisser against Mephisto Genius 2 in Aubervillers
in a 30 minute KO game. The move is 1.Nxh7! Until now I have not seen ANY
program get this position... that is, until Hiarcs 7 came along. Hiarcs 7.32
finds it in 9 minutes 43 seconds on my K6-2/350.
