I have two test suites (arasan2.epd and arasan3.epd), containing together 174 tests. You can get these from http://www.arasanchess.org/tests.zip. Note that some are "avoid move" (am) positions, which not all engines support. I'm not sure I have a favorite, but I do like arasan2.87: [D] r3r1k1/pb1n1p2/1p1p1n1p/q1pPpN2/2P4p/2PBPP2/P1Q3PP/1R3RK1 w - - The solution is Qf2. This was actually played by Phalanx. Also I have recently saved the following positions from Arasan games (these are less tested for correct/unique solutions than the other tests): 3r1r2/pb3pkp/1pn1qNp1/2p1P3/5P2/P2BQ3/1P4PP/3R1R1K w - - bm f5; id "arasan4.1"; 3r4/pb4k1/1n2p2p/P5p1/4P1N1/1rp1BP2/6PP/R4RK1 b - - bm Nc4; id "arasan4.3"; r3rb1k/1b3pp1/3p2qp/p2P1N2/Pp1Qn3/4RN1P/1P3PP1/R1B3K1 w - - am Nxh6; id "arasan4.4"; 3r1rk1/pb3ppp/1p2pn2/4Q3/2BN3q/1PP2P2/P5PP/3RR1K1 w - - bm Nf5; id "arasan4.5"; rqbr2k1/5p1p/3p3p/1Nn1pPb1/1pB1P3/pP3Q2/P1P1N3/1K1R3R w - - bm Rdg1; id "arasan4.6"; r1b2rk1/1pqp1p1p/p3nBpQ/4p3/4P3/1N4P1/PbP2PBP/R4RK1 w - - bm Nd2; id "10/04/2003"; 4r1k1/2P3pp/1n2q3/2pn1p2/8/6B1/1P1QBP1P/4R1K1 w - - bm Rd1; id "arasan4.7"; r4k1r/4bpp1/p6p/5n1n/PpBp1B2/1N1P1P2/1PP2K1P/4R1R1 w - - bm Rxe7; id "arasan4.8"; 2r5/R5pk/pB4r1/P1P2pbp/4p3/6P1/2R2P2/7K b - - bm h4; id "arasan4.9"; r2q1rk1/p4p2/1p2pn1p/n2b2p1/3P3B/2R2N2/PP3PPP/1B1QR1K1 w - - bm Nxg5; id "arasan4.10"; 4bk1r/p2q2p1/4ppp1/1p1pPn1r/2pP2R1/P1P2N1P/2PB1PP1/R4KQ1 b - - bm g5; id "arasan4.11"; 8/b1r1kNp1/p3p2p/2pbN3/r4P2/6P1/1P1R3P/4RK2 b - - bm c4; id "arasan4.12"; r4n1k/ppr3pp/2p1b3/8/1q1PQ3/2N1PN2/PP3P2/1KR4R w - - bm Rxh7+; id "arasan4.13"; n5qk/4pr1p/1p1p2p1/pP1N1P2/2P1n1PQ/P6K/8/1R1R4 b - - am gxf5; id "arasan4.14"; 1r2r1k1/3q1pb1/p2P3p/3P2p1/5n2/2N1BP2/PP1Q1P1P/R4RK1 b - - bm Be5; id "arasan4.15"; 5rk1/3R1p2/ppp3r1/b1p1P2p/2P2B1q/2P2Q2/P5PP/3R3K w - h6 bm h3; id "arasan4.16"; 2r1r1k1/5p1p/p3qBp1/1ppbP3/2n5/2PB3P/P3QPP1/3RR1K1 w - - bm Bxc4; id "arasan4.17"; 8/6pk/4p2p/8/5Pp1/2qp2P1/4r1BP/2R2Q1K b - - bm Qd4; id "arasan4.18"; 2nr4/2q3kp/1r2R1p1/2p2p2/p1Pp3P/P2B1Q2/1P2RPP1/6K1 w - - bm g4; id "arasan4.19"; r4rk1/p4ppp/2p1pnb1/8/PbpBP3/2N2PP1/1P5P/3RKB1R b K - bm e5; id "arasan4.20"; 4k3/8/1Np5/2Pp1ppp/2nPp3/4P1PP/5P2/6K1 b - - am f4; id "arasan4.21"; 4r3/4r3/2k2b2/p1p5/P1b3Pp/R1P1B2P/5KN1/3R4 b - - bm Rf7; id "arasan4.22"; r1bq1rk1/pp5p/3b1np1/3pNp2/3P4/2NBP3/PPQ2PP1/3RK2R w K - bm g4; id "arasan4.23"; r1br3k/pp2qn1p/4p2P/4Ppp1/2B5/P4NQ1/1P3PP1/3R1RK1 w - - bm Nxg5; id "arasan4.24"; 4k3/3q1p2/p2p4/4p1br/2P5/5Q2/2P5/1K1R2R1 b - - bm Qc7; id "arasan4.25"; 2r2rk1/3bq1p1/4p1Pp/3pP3/1p1N1PQ1/pP5R/P1P4R/4K3 w - - bm Rxh6; id "arasan4.26"; 2br2k1/3n1pbN/1q5p/1p2p3/r2p4/5Q2/PPB2PPP/R1B2RK1 b - - bm Nc5; id "arasan4.27"; 2b2rk1/r3bp2/p3pp2/q2p4/5PPp/1RNB4/P1PQ3P/1R5K w - - bm Qf2; id "arasan4.28"; 8/k7/P4p2/8/3pP3/3Br3/2P5/6K1 b - - bm Rxd3; id "arasan4.29"; 8/5p1k/5Pp1/1pQ2q1p/pP6/P7/2P4P/1K6 b - b3 am axb3; id "arasan4.30"; 4r1kr/p1n2p2/2b1pPp1/q2pP1N1/p1pP2B1/2P3Q1/1RPK3P/R7 w - - bm h4; id "arasan4.31"; 2k1r2r/pp1b2R1/2n3Q1/q2pPp1p/2pP4/P1P2N2/2PKBP2/R7 w - - bm Qd6; id "arasan4.32"; 8/pp2n3/7P/6PK/1kP2PN1/8/2b5/8 w - - bm Ne3; id "arasan4.33"; 3r4/6pp/p3kn2/2r5/1pp1P3/P3R3/1PB3PP/4R1K1 b - - bm b3; id "arasan4.34"; 8/1B3k2/4Rbp1/3Pp1p1/5p2/5P1P/3r2PK/8 b - - bm g4; id "arasan4.35"; 4r1k1/p5qp/Pp1Rbb2/4pp1r/2P1p1p1/1PB1P3/1Q2BPPP/3R2K1 w - - bm c5; id "arasan4.36"; 8/4k1p1/8/5P1p/b1N4P/5PP1/1p1K4/1B1n4 w - - bm g4; id "arasan4.37"; 3r1k2/p2n4/1p1p3p/1P1P1B2/1PPb1r2/4Np2/2R2P1R/6K1 w - - bm Rxh6; id "arasan4.38"; 8/5p2/7p/3p1p2/r1p1k3/P1P1P1PP/R3K3/8 b - - bm Ra6; id "arasan4.39";
