Hi

Yep, there are 1 (!) position (nr. 4) for the next generations of programs...

First value: solutions of _all_ positions; if the same amount,
then the second value: solutions of the positions Kat.C;
if the same amount again, then the third value:
solutions of the positions Kat.B.

>A final question: How did you run the test under the Fritz-GUI?

No problem:
1. New cbh-file
2. Importing of the EPD-File
3. Subtracting of the "solutions"

For a test-suite, "vary in difficulty" is a sign of quality...
