Subject: Running a Gauntlet of test Suites ...

I have been keeping a file of all the positions Fritz can't solve in 3minutes on
either of my computers (800Mhz Athlon and 500Mhz PentiumIII) i have over 600 and
rising as i haven't sorted out Covax , Test Your Positional Play, Crafty , and
one i call endtest which includes ECE3 and MES. I have positions from the
Bratko-Kopec test that aren't solved and i noticed a problem when i could catch
it.
I would run the test and it would solve the problem but i went back later and
let it think a little longer it just changed it's mind in under 3minutes so it's
not perfect but it should be considering i used the extra ply setting in
chessbase position test this did not help 100% of the time as one position from
the BK test gets the solution and changes after 6ply the top setting is 5 which
is annoying becuase you sometimes will finish 6 or more ply before the time is
up especially if it is a endgame problem.

If anyone is interested and want either the PGN or CBH files when i am done feel
free to ask. I plan on going over these gradually with longer increments sorting
out the unsolved once again let's say at 10 minutes , past that if it isn't
solved the problem should be in a new nolot test suite especially since the
fastest nolot was 16minutes for fritz #7.

Thankyou
