Hello, Several positions in WM test the solutions given aren't the objective best moves. For example i get impression that at position 16: r1k4r/1b1q1pp1/p6p/3n4/1B3Pn1/1P1B4/P1PQ3P/2KRR3 w - - bm Ba5; id "CSS WM-Test 16) Lb4-a5 (K)"; Undoubtfully Ba5 is a good move, but completely material winning is c2-c4 here. You get directly a rook at the 7th rank, swallow f7 + g7, and black is completely immobilized the rest of the game. Soon also Rd1-e1-e7 happens and it's a mate in XXX soon then. I can imagine why a human plays Ba5 here and doesn't take a risk (note the chessprograms want this all initially too), but let's look objective to the position. Not finding c4 soon means a program is a tactical joke. As a human i wouldn't find c4 so soon either. I would go for Ba5, because i know how much i suck in tactics. Best regards, Vincent
