EPD Endgame Suite

Post by gaard »

This is what I am now using to establish endgame ratings. You may also find is useful. For analyzing these positions, I used Rybka 4 exclusively with a fixed depth of 10. All positions meet the criteria:

1) Differ in more then 6 ranks from every other positions
2) White material is less than 15
3) Black material is less than 15
4) White plus Black material is greater than 17
5) Do not evaluate to 0
6) Do not evaluate greater than 120 centipawns
7) Do not evaluate greater than 30 centipawns difference from the next best move

The suite was revised after Dann Corbit did a more thorough analysis of the positions.
