But isn't it true that when you do a test suite, what is given are positions and not the whole game? If you feed the chess engine the whole PGN file, how would it know which was the position you were going to test? Aaron Tay wrote >>How well supported are >>they by commerical programs?

Hmm by reading you mean if you feed it a EPD position it can interprete and display the board position and run analysises etc.. but it cannot write it, means it cannot convert a given position to EPD? But I suppose for Winboard compatiable programs, winboard itself would help "lend" EPD capabilities anyway? Sorry for all the questions. Thank you.
