Hello together,
this is the Nunn-Endgame-Test, which was published in the
German computer-chess-magazine 'Computer Schach und Spiele',
Issue Dez.1998.
Use the following time-controls:
5 min sd Blitz
30 min sd Active
2h/40m+1h/20m
(Note: In the CSS they published also errors, which one to move
first. On their home-page <http://www.computerschach.de>
they corrected this. The positions here are checked against
their corrections.)
The position 8 (Bellon - Minic, Siegen 1970) is only a draw,
when 1.c6!. Which program will find this move?
In all other positions it is not clear, if it is a draw or not.
Now here the positions:
1. Rook endgame John Nunn 1998
8/1ppr1kp1/p1p4p/8/8/5P2/PPP1RKPP/8 w - - 0 1
2. Barza - Golombek Budapest 1952
8/1pk3pp/p7/3p1p2/8/3K2P1/PP2PP1P/8 w - - 0 1

Rules are same like the Nunn-test. Every program every position
one times in white and black.
On the machines!
