Subject: test suites solicitation

Hi - I have reached the limit of what I can test with Fred Reinfeld's
Win-at-Chess suite of 300 positions. Not that I couldn't improve more
points on it - but that many retests reach a plateau that does not
change much.

So, I want to expand to these suites:

   WAC
   1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices
   1001 Brilliant Ways to Mate
   ECO Middlegames
   ECO Endgames

and any others you think reasonable and prudent. My goal is a single
overnight 8 hour test at a few seconds per position - folded into
a single result with per-suite specifics as well.

My issue is where to get the above in EPD format with the solution(s) included
in each EPD entry.

I think with the larger set plus my current adding of chess knowledge to
terminal nodes, I will be able to make new progress in new areas and
not be "WAC-blind" to it.

Thanks ahead if you know of where I can get the above or other (better)
suites.

Stuart
