The rook ending where black has to play actively with 1.-Rd2! - and the discussion between black's pair of bishops vs pair of Knights + an extra pawn. The other 9 positions are highly unbalanced - in fact documented won for white/black - even if some engine shows +0.08 in the starting position...;-) /S
