Hi,
What I want is not endgame test suites, but a big collection of "equal" endgame starting position so I can run test tournaments only testing the endgame. The largest the better.
I have looked into Dann Corbit server, but there are so many epd suites that I am loosing into so many files without any description.
Other option is to make myselft, but dont know exactly how.
Thanks.
FS

Re: Looking for endgame starting positions.
I have collected a few from my testgames with Dabbaba and hope to collect more in the future.
Mainly unusual types of endgames to see how the program behaves....

Re: Looking for endgame starting positions.
Be interesting to see the results of the 20 top engines in
end games.
I fine that some top engines are very weak in the end game.
Best.
Gerold.
P.S. without the assist of end game tablebase.

I have noticed this in games between Rybka 3 and Deep Shredder 12. I have seen allot of endgame losses by Shredder 12. Odd because Shredder is known to play some good endgames.
