Do you have any suggestions for "difficult positions" An awful lot of the positions that get posted here are pretty dificult. Unfortunatly, I don't keep them beyond a certain point, and I've never made any attempt to sort them by difficulty. Everyone seems to be indicating that I'm wrong and that Deep Fritz IS stronger, but they seem to indicate that it's only marginal. There does seem to be a way to test position suites with Chessbase interfaces, but I've never gotten the thing to work, and I forget by now how they hide the thing, it's not one of those features that was easy to find.
