Hello, My very good friend IM Zoran Ilic (2400)came to my place today for our regular Saturday blitz match. Afterwards we went through some of his games and he pointed out that the following game could be a very good test for chess programs. Please take a look as many of the positions that arise are excellent tests. Zoran played this game with typical human visionary depth and I doubt that any program will be able to follow in his footsteps. (BTW, this evening Zoran played a short blitz match (4 min + 2 sec inc) against Deep Junior on my dual board, 2 x PII-400, and lost 3.5 - 1.5) OK, please start with the following, White to move, 21.e4!! [D]r3qr1k/pb3pnp/1pp5/3p1p2/7Q/P1N3PB/1P2PP1P/3RR1K1 w - - 0 21 then try your program with 22. Nxe4!!: [D]r3qr1k/pb3pnp/1pp5/3p4/4p2Q/P1N3PB/1P3P1P/3RR1K1 w - - 0 22 Perhaps you could do the same with the rest of the game, you will surely find it instructive.
