A new set found here : https://forum.computerschach.de/cgi-bin ... ?tid=11645

I downloaded the PGN file (75 games inside) and I removed the positions that are already in my set and the poor test positions.
There still some checking to see eveything is OK.
It stills 14 games :

There still some checking to see eveything is OK.
Same process for the set Chichitza from here : http://chichitza.ro/index.html?lang=en&intro=4

It stills 7 games.

Game #5 has been modified : the first move has been removed because it's forced. Now the game starst with 1.Nc7!
