Subject: More about the Ending testpositions

 A closer look at n:o 17 - the bishop ending where black wins - reveals that
 the nature of this position is mostly tactical. Don't think it's a good
 test of endgame knowledge - so it will be removed and replaced.

 This is the position mentioned:

 8/4k3/1p2b1pp/p1p1p3/P1P1P3/1P3P1P/5KB1/8 b - - 0 37

"Good bishop vs bad bishop". Black is winning. Maybe too easy?

And the answer is yes. Black wins with b5 which can be found by pure search.
So we have to dig up another one.
