STS Chess Test

Post by Kurt Utzinger »

I have downloaded this test somewhere and am wondering that most of the positions tested so far (Undermine) are very easy to solve for todays programs. Hence, I am asking myself if this test may still be worth to prove something.
Regards
Kurt

STS 1 Undermining is bit easy for most "top" programs. (Albeit challenging for engines <2600)

STS 2 to STS 10 are quite a challenge for all the programs.
