Subject: Revised endgame suite

Author: Howard Exner

Any owners of the newer commercial programs want to try this one?
Harald or Kai ? I've got some non-commercial results and am trying to
determine if some of the positions are either too easy or too hard.
Thanks

Run for 10 minutes or until you know for sure that the program will keep
the move. Is this the correct EPD notation? I normally use
Rebel's format but have been corrected by some posters not to include
the = sign.

in #3 Kd5 is ok but not quite as accurate as Kc5. Kc3? throws the win
away.
#1 and #8 test knowledge but can now be solved with raw search on the
faster hardware.

The toughest ones so far seem to be 3,9,12,14,16,18,19 and 22.
