Thanks Dan - you have TONS of epd files. Are these created by you?

Maybe 5% were created by me. Mostly, I just collected them.

Be aware that this set of positions is not very good as a test suite. Many positions have alternate solutions (e.g. there are two ways to mate).

I weed them out once and ended up with ~30 positions with a clear, not unique, not so super super easy solution (some of them are still easy). I may re-post them later if anybody is interested
