Shrug. >Who produced the "solutions"? Super smart chess guru guys and GM's who write chess books. >What do you mean by pv and ce? The pv is the preferred variation. This is what we "expect" will happen -- or what we are considering as the current plan. The ce is the centipawn evaluation. This is an estimate, in hundredths of a pawn, of our current circumstances. If it is negative, then we are behind. If it is positive then we are ahead. Values of greater than 32000 indicate checkmates are coming. >Please use less jargon I can't I did not write the EPD spec. That was Steven J. Edwards. It's a wonderful thing and I am very glad of it. I know of no better way to compile computer analysis. >Are the problems compiled to test chess computers? Both computers and people use EPD. Read about it in here: ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/PGN/Standard You will be especially interested in section 16.2 "EPD" >Soren Riis
