Lets create CCC-Top50 testsuite

[Hugo]

Hi all

I hope I can find a few intrested peoples here, that help me to get a CCC testsuite with 50 different intresting start possitions.
5 -8 moves max.
I still have my own ideas about some possitions, but I am very curious if you also have some intreststing suggestions.
Not sure if there is interest at all...but I thought its worth for a try

very best regards, Clemens Keck
