Subject: Re: EPD tests a little leaky...

Go up one level in this thread

I for one would be quite interested in an endgame test suite
that had verified solutions. The existing published ones (e.g.
ECE) are full of errors. I have culled some tests out of
Fine's Basic Chess Endings, but that has quite a few errors, too.

(To be interesting the tests should probably be out of the range
that can be solved directly with existing tablebases).

B.t.w. you might take a look at the tests I have published on
my web page (ftp://shell3.ba.best.com/pub/jdart/games.epd).
Some of these are hard enough to be interesting. For example,
here is one position encountered in a game my program
had against GnuChess:

6k1/p5bp/8/1N4p1/P7/B4pP1/2b1rP1P/5RK1 w - - bm Bc5; id "test.84";
