Subject: latest Arasan test suite

Author: Jon Dart

Date: 15:24:26 07/10/04


I have recently modified Arasan so that it can display 2nd and 3rd-best
moves for each test position. Using this I have gone through my
previously released test suite and some other tests I have collected
recently (mostly from Arasan games), and weeded out positions that
don't have unique good moves. I also removed some that were too easy.
The latest version is at http://www.arasanchess.org/arasan4.epd.
Any comments or corrections welcome. Last I ran this, Arasan was getting
about 95 out of 115 correct at 60 seconds/move.

The last test is interesting and wasn't solved at the 60 second mark:

[D] 2kr3r/Rbpnq3/1p1pp3/2P3p1/3P4/2P1P1p1/Q2N1PP1/4KB2 w - -

best move Rxb7. Phalanx played this in a test game (Arasan is getting a + score
over Phalanx overall in my tests now, but Phalanx is particularly good at
tactical shots and is still a tough opponent).
