Dear Kurt, I'm really happy to see your last post. You've done a wonderful job in educating us over the last few years regarding the various strengths/weaknesses of the top engines. Your fantastic tournament using Nunn's test positions and the tournament using different 1st moves were exceptionally good examples of this. Now, I'd like to see tournament, played at standard time controls, where the starting position is from various endgames (all positions should be approximately equal). Each engine would play each side of the position versus all the others. This would demonstrate whether engines have indeed improved in an area where they are usually considered to be weakest - and humans supposedly remain superior. I thought about doing that test on my computer at home, using various endgame positions from my correspondence games. But I've yet to find the time. Does running such a tournament yourself interest you at all Kurt? All the best, Stephen
