Yes, it seems difficult to track down the original sources for the tests (which
is why I hope you'll ultimately be successful in gathering them together for the
NACCA site!).

I personally don't know much about their origins, except that I think the method
for using Quick Test is described by its creator here:

   http://members.aon.at/computerschach/quick/quicke.htm

Also, I don't have the book with me now, but isn't there an article concerning
an old test suite in "Advances in Computer Chess" (Vol 3?)?

Thanks again for your efforts.

Michael
