Almost every EPD test suite is full of bugs. >Is there any paper outlining the results >of the project? None yet. That would take someone who knows something about chess. I am hoping that some very intelligent chess player who actually knows how to play the game will look at the data and abstract something from it. Eventually, I will try my hand at real study. Unfortunately, I'm a chess dunce. I will suggest that if you have not already done so, you should get a copy of CDB from Peter Klausler. His home page: http://reality.sgi.com/pmk_craypark/ The CDB home page: http://reality.sgi.com/pmk_craypark/cdb.html There are CDB database files in each of those directories which are merged PGN and EPD analysis. There is some small problem with CDB such that about 5% of the EPD rows will not import. But you can see most of the results visually. If you have a large amount of data you would like to examine, then CDB is not currently a good solution, because it is incredibly memory intensive. For such installations, I would suggest getting the latest copy of Chess Assistant, which has some built in features for viewing C.A.P. data.
