There exists some of these puzzles in book-form, Bent Larsen (1 book), Danel King (2 books), and also on ImproveYourChess.com (Daniel King) and in Chessmaster (Bruce Pandolfini). But unfortunately these are all copyrighted. Another minor problem with these are that they are scored by only one GM so there could be some error or dispute of some moves. These are probably easy to find and exclude from the set. The nice thing about Tony's set is that it is evaluated by several strong players in an open dialog so it is probably very good. Maybe it could be possible to collect some positions from well annotated games (by several players) and try to score moves. Usually in a GM game most of the moves aren't depended on style, but would be played be most GM's. Take away style, tactics and openingmoves from a game you should still have 60-70% of the moves left as candidate for a positional test. Odd Gunnar
