P.S. Nunn positions are usually used as starting points for self-play matches. If you would like to test middlegame performance of an algorithm (by fixed-depth or fixed-time experiments), you'd better use other test suites (e.g., WCS, WAC, ECM, etc). Just beware that ECM has large number of errors in the suggested best moves. If you are looking just for a few "balanced" positions without any tactical motives, take a look at the 20 positions Aske Plaat used in his Ph.D. thesis (see the appendix). >Thanks, >Dave
