[Alessandro Scotti]

Hi Pavel,
thanks for running this test with Hamsters. I am currently trying to improve its endgame play and those positions are exactly what I was looking for! I see there are comments inside each game of the PGN, those are especially nice but since I am such a patzer if you know about more information (e.g. what could be a possible plan or strategy for each side) please let me know!

[Rubinus]

My english language is very poor.
If download testsets, then original PGN -> solution some position.

Pos Nr.1 - black mustn't change rook, white pawns better. (... Romichess mistake, Michael)

[Rubinus]

Pos Nr. 4
White mustn't change Queen, less pawns.
