Go up one level in this thread


As was posted many times alot of these sets have mistakes and i am trying to
weed out as many of them as i can hopefully half of these can be solved.
As far as those endgame positions i would have to look at the book i've seen a
few problems namely a pawn where a rook should be, fritz picking the 2nd move in
the solution in the book as best and i have taken some out :

Crafty Pos 42 Chiptest Ostrich Rxc7??? why have we been testing a losing move of
a Computer that looked at 50Knps???

Crafty Pos 51  Ivanov-Deep Thought 1988 I removed this for some reason
Move 35 Kc3

Crafty Pos 97 Bf1 is not as good as Qd1 , But both are already from a completely
lost position.... mate in 7

Crafty Pos 141 Bb3 is the solution given but Bd5 wins quicker

Aemis 30 Rxg7+ is no win with best defense

MES .148  Is not a draw   Richard Reti Ostraur  "Morgenzeitung" 1929

MES.504 Ra7 , dxe6 better

MES 583 (ECE1007) Rb8 given solution with Rxg8 in the line given but Rxg8 first
nets a higher score.

Lots of Doubles as well, I have tried to note that as well , why Solve A
position more than once ...It is still very much a work in progress but it is
nice to know that of the 6000+ test positions I have managed to Reduced it down
to under 1800. I will check out the MES position and I think Someone should keep
Some Kind of Record of which ones need to be removed ETC, I consider a problem
Truely solved if more than one program gets the solution. I keep the solved ones
in a separate file so those aren't chucked.
