Looking for suggestions for perft test posititons

[mvk]

If anyone is interested I converted all the positions to something a bit more digestable, so that the file now has the format:

Code: Select all

rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1 ;D1 20 ;D2 400 ;D3 8902 ;D4 197281 ;D5 4865609 ;D6 119060324
rnbqkbnr/pp1ppppp/2p5/8/6P1/2P5/PP1PPP1P/RNBQKBNR b KQkq - 0 1 ;D1 21 ;D2 463 ;D3 11138 ;D4 274234 ;D5 7290026 ;D6 195464529
rnb1kbnr/ppq1pppp/2pp4/8/6P1/2P5/PP1PPPBP/RNBQK1NR w KQkq - 0 1 ;D1 27 ;D2 734 ;D3 20553 ;D4 579004 ;D5 16988496 ;D6 494216738

etc.

I can make it available at my web page if anyone is interested.

I would be happy host it if it was valid EPD, but the format you give is not that at all: EPD uses a 4-field 'FEN', thus without the "0 1" counters. And it requires a terminating semi-colon at the end of a line, after the last operand. Furthermore I'm suspicious about the spacing around the operators (" ;D3 " vs. "; D3 "). Finally, opcodes in EPD are not allowed to have uppercase letters.

With all that repaired it makes sense to replace my more ad-hoc formatted file.

Try this:

It should meet the standard a bit better. I'll likely expand this section of my web site
since it was fun playing around with the move generator and perft.

Nice! I'll host a mirror here: http://marcelk.net/chess/perft/marcel_6838.epd.zip

Thanks Marcel. I was just glad my numbers validated yours.
