Subject: computer chess test positions

 Over the past few days I have put some chess positions to Rebel10,
Chessmaster6000 and Fritz5.32 to solve.The positions came from Eric Schriller's
book "The Big Book Of Combinations" and involved positions arrived at by Chess
players over the past 70 odd years or so.Many of the positions which the
programmes could not solve weren't, according to Schriller, really very
complicated yet for the most part the programmes came up with passive moves.This
indicates to me that chess programmers have still got quite a way to go before
their product sits solidly in the grandmaster category.Am I being unfair in this
assumption? Bythe way the positions I selected were the ones that Zarkov, the
programme Schriller used,could not solve
