I'm looking for a set of endgame positions which could be used as a starting point for an endgame tournament between engines.
Just to be clear: this should not be a set of positions where there is a single move which wins/draws. Instead I am looking for positions where one side has a slight advantage and it would require continuous precise play to secure the win or save the draw.
If you have any positions that would be suitable for this kind of exercise, please post them.

Re: Quest for end game test suite
The Larsson test suite will do the trick for starters.
