Version 11 of the Strategic Test Suite series is now available for download.
* Consists of carefully selected 100 test positions on "Activity of the King"
Information:
This test covers all king movements prior or after the castling. Idea of this is to test whether it's appropriate to bring the king forward for the battle, or to move the king to a more defensive square.
I accepted king moves that were made in late middle game to early endgame, especially moves where king can be used as
* an active defender,
* an aggressive attacker with respect to assisting pawns,
* a space restrictor,
* a blockader.
I rejected positions in endings where there are very less pieces left on board. I also rejected castling moves, and king moves that were made after "check".

will you be running this set with all the engines in your list and then updating the points totals for them?
Cheers,
