Subject: Endgame Blockage Positions

Author: Omid David Tabibi

Date: 14:31:16 12/06/02


I have seen many of Genrikh Kasparyan's endgame studies published in various
chess magazines in the past years. I was thinking that many of them might be
useful for testing the chess programs' endgame performance. Is there any
available collection of Kasparyan's endgame study positions?

Specifically, is there any collection of endgame blockage** positions available?

Thanks,

Omid.

** Blockage positions such as the endgame of Deep Fritz - Kramnik, game 1, in
which one side cannot penetrate into the other's camp:

[D] 4k3/2p5/1p2p1p1/p1p1P1P1/P1P3p1/1P6/5PK1/8 b - - 0 28

Or the good old example of blockage:

[D] 8/4k3/8/p1p1p1p1/P1P1P1P1/8/2B1K3/8 w - - 0 1
