test positions from WBEC

Post by jdart »

Graham Bank's WBEC Premier tournament (http://talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 16&t=28327) has produced some interesting and difficult positions - here are a couple:

Fruit-Naum 4:
[D] 1r3b1r/3n1k2/5p2/p1q4p/b2N1PPR/1P3QB1/2P5/1K1R4 w - -

bm g5

Hiarcs-Rybka:
[D] 2q3bk/2r3p1/3p1n1p/2r1pP1P/p1N1P3/Pp1P4/1P1N2R1/1K1Q2R1 b - -

bm d5

I haven't done a deep verify on these but analysis so far indicates the moves played were the best.
