Drat!  I wanted them annotated!  [Pout]

The idea is to search this database for positions, which presented real problems
for the individual computers.

Then the intent was to isolate a subset of the above, which have presented
serious problems for MANY chess computers.

Then we would have a really useful suite of test positions.

Writers of new chess programs could use that suite to flag problems in the
program, and nip them in the bud before too much embarrassment.

If worse came to worst, maybe Fritz could be called upon to annotate them, but
what about positions which are a problem for Fritz?  Really need for a GM to
flag the errors?
