win at chess #223

[bob]

Has anyone reported any sort of cook/bust for this position? I was running most every test suite I have looking to be sure I had cured a parallel search bug, and when I ran this one, Crafty failed. It found the so-called solution (Nxe4) but then switched to Be5. And it switched back and forth a couple of times. But my issue is the eval for either move was around -1.5, which is hardly a "win at chess" type of move. Is this a known busted position? I am aware of the cook for #230 where the suggested move does not win, just offers slight winning chances. This one appears to be something like "find the least losing move..."

That's what I am thinking. This is not a "win at anything" position it seems...

WAC-300 is known to be busted:

1993

This testing process has, over the years, uncovered 10 cooks (most of which were not serious) and 8 wrong answers, that we know about, in the 300 position win-at-chess set

- Lang, Kevin J., and Warren D. Smith. "A test suite for chess programs." ICGA Journal 16, no. 3 (1993)

2018

"Cleaned and Revised"
Of the original 300 positions, only 201 remain.

I spent a good deal of time reviewing the WAC (Win at Chess) positions to remove positions with wrong solutions, multiple solutions, or ones that can be 'solved' but for the wrong reasons. I.e. playing a move for a perpetual instead of seeing the win. I also removed WAC 230, a notorious position as it is not even clear it wins, plus it doesn't really fit the bill here since all positions are quite easy except for that one, even if correct. All positions were checked in multi-PV mode with Komodo 11. In the end, of the 300, original positions, 201 were left. However, I am fairly confident that any position that is solved was truly solved, with little room for ambiguity.

Here they are:

Thanks. Saved this. Solves a lot of issues I had with many of the positions given. Some with too many solutions. Some with outright errors. Etc. These all had legit solutions when I ran 'em through Crafty.

WAC-300 is known to be busted

No, it is not busted. g6 is the clear-cut best answer.

[bob]

I am assuming he is using a broad brush and talking about the entire test set from the book.

No, it is not busted. g6 is the clear-cut best answer.

I think he means : "the WAC (300 positions)".

Ah ok. I actually have a few minor corrections to my fixed set, which I will post soon. Nothing serious.
