I think it would be really neat if someone created a new set of positions to perhaps replace the Nolot ones. It's known that a couple of the Nolot solutions are at least slightly dubious (#9 being foremost, #3 and #6 might also be, and it can be argued that the solution to #8 may not be the "best" move). Also nowadays, at least #11 is too easy for computers to be in a suite of "unsolvable by computer" problems. Maybe if I have the time I'll look for some positions where the solution is really the best move, provide/find analysis for them, and make sure they're really hard for computers. One position that comes to mind already is Shirov's 47. ...Bh3!! against Topalov, Linares 1998: (I hope the diagram is correct.) [D]8/8/4kpp1/3p1b2/p6P/2B5/6P1/6K1 b - - Computers find this extremely difficult, at the least. :)
