Two problems had wrong solutions.
Some problems had multiple solutions.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

I think it is in much better shape than when I first submitted it.
However, I think it is incredibly difficult to create a chess test set that is really free from defects.

When you search deep enough, it is not unlikely to find a better solution.

One of the positions was pretty difficult and it ended in a checkmate.
Some engines labored to find even the single mate.
But Houdini 6 in tactical mode with multi-pv found two other mates as well.

So you never know. However, I think it is clearly superior to my previous submissions.
And some of the positions are a lot of fun for a human (at least I liked them).

Thanks a lot for updating this test suite.

I have a bunch of engines analyzing over the weekend. I will show the results on Monday (unless there is an electrical face-plant or something like that)

Only one program (I believe it was Sting 99) could find the Ba7 solution and very few could find Ne4+. Most programs get hung up on Nxd4.

Thank you for your efforts. There is also one that might be a fortress draw despite a big score.

May I also mention that I admire your work on your difficult test set. Some of the problems are very beautiful.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Sting said this:

But I am investigating further.
