Testsuites for engine-engine testing

Dear computer chess fans!

In this first posting I offer you a wide variety of test suites for engine-engine testing. These files can be used in chess GUI's like Arena or ChessBase.

A small overview:

  • Gambit Lines => these sets only play gambit openings
  • Nunn => the famous sets made by IGM John Nunn
  • World championship matches => sets based on famous human WC matches
  • Opening special => sets based on a single opening, i.e. Sicilian or King's Indian
  • Short and side lines => sets that play short opening lines or side lines (i.e. not main lines)
  • Noomen Testsuites => the test suites made and published by Jeroen Noomen
