  2. #It seems to me that what the computer-chess world needs is something
  3. #like Reinfeld's 1001 position test set, only for "positional" and not
  4. #tactical play.  That is, where the compensation you get for making the
  5. #right move is probably not going to be seen by an evaluation function
  6. #that only knows about material and checkmate. (Unless it looks very
  7. #deep... Or at any rate, if you know more, you are likely to find the
  8. #answer faster...)
  9. #
  10. #The Bratko-Kopec 24 position set was perhaps a step in this direction,
  11. #but is too small. Berliner, Kopec and Northam were attempting to
  12. #construct a large high quality test set with complete coverage of a
  13. #subject classification scheme they'd invented for chess themes...
  14. #(See: Advances in Computer Chess, 6) but they abandoned the project.
  15. #
  16. #I have tried to pick hard examples of a "positional" nature although
  17. #the distinction is blurred (material does matter, some are indeed
  18. #"totally" tactical, and looking ahead far enough would see material
  19. #gain in some of them... also some are easy, not hard... and also it is
  20. #harder to be certain of problem correctness than in a pure-tactics
  21. #test set...)
  22. #
  23. #They include:
  24. #26 Test positions from Raymond Keene & Andrew Whitely:
  25. #Ray Keene's good move guide, Oxford University Press 1982.
  26. #
  27. #10 Test positions from Max Euwe:
  28. #Strategy and Tactics in Chess, David McKay Co., NY.
  29. #
  30. #18 Test positions from Reuben Fine: The world's great chess games,
  31. #Bonanza Books NY 1956. 
  32. #
  33. #25 Test Positions from Aron Nimzowitch: My system, edited by Lou Hays,
  34. #Hays Publishing Inc., Dallas Texas 1991.
  35. #
  36. #10 from F. Reinfeld: The complete chessplayer, Prentice-Hall 1953
  37. #
  38. #10 from H. Berliner, D. Kopec, E. Northam: A taxonomy of concepts for
  39. #evaluating chess strength, Adv. Computer Chess 6, ed. D.F. Beal, Ellis
  40. #Horwood 1991, pages 179-191.
  41. #
  42. #4 from Andrew J. Palay: Searching with probabilities, Pitman 1985
  43. #
  44. #Finally at the end I have appended the Bratko-Kopec set (24) from
  45. #D.Kopec and I. Bratko: A comparison of human and computer performance in chess,
  46. #page 57-72 in  Advances in Computer Chess III,
  47. #edited by M.R.B. Clarke, Pergamon 1982. (These in turn were mostly or
  48. #entirely extracted from Hans Kmoch: Pawn power in chess, Dover publications.)
  49. #
  50. #and 16 test positions from David Levy: "How computers play chess," and
  51. #a few from Levy and R. Keene: How to beat your chess computer, and 8
  52. #other problems.  These were mostly snarfed off the net and are now
  53. #converted to have the same format as the other positions.
  54. #
  55. #Note, the LEVYKEENE set includes some positions *not* featuring a
  56. #single correct move, but instead featuring a definitely incorrect move
  57. #(with "?") which computers might foolishly want to make.
