http://www.geocities.com/lyapko/tests.htm. There are certainly some errors in
those.

Error-free seems to be the test suite found at Steffen Jakob's site by Jouni
Uski: http://www.jakob.at/steffen/chess/tests/endgame.html

Well, and then I have 6 pawn endgame positions posted by Peter McKenzie some
while ago here :-) (I think one is wrong, and at least one is very difficult).

However, I have the feeling, that many endgame positions are hightly tactical.
Often they are even "anti-knowledge". I'd like to know about positions, that are
too deep for a search, and that must be solved by knowledge.

Regards,
Dieter
