Thanks for this great collection, Walter! :)

To my surprise I've found 3 new mate problems which aren't yet in my ChestUCI database - I guess I must have overlooked these 3 positions in your previous 'Brilliant Chess Move' postings.

7K/3p4/8/3p1B2/1BpP4/8/ppp1p3/qk1bR3 w - - bm #14; 00:03 @ C0/R0/K2/P3/X4;
4bkrb/1K2p1r1/4P2B/8/8/8/8/7R w - - bm #17; 00:27 @ C0/R0/K2/P2/X12;
8/p2p4/8/3p4/1Q6/4K3/Pp6/qk6 w - - bm #17; --:-- @ C0/R0/K4/P5/X11;

The last one is a bit too tough for my old slow notebook here, but the parameters are correct.

Regards,
Franz

Walter,

Thank you for this Brilliant collection.
Your equally impressive end game test suite has helped me to develop better zugzwang detection in Houdini, so your work certainly leads to better chess engines :).
