Hello, José. Yes, I'm interested in those rook endings. Could you send them
to me or post them here?

I believe that you are right about testsuites. Although this one was a huge
set of 1258 positions, it's specially important in endgames to check if
the program knows the *entire solution path*, not only a single move.
