At the moment, it is difficult (perhaps impossible) to access most of them, because of hardware failures of Robert Hyatt's ftp and another one of a mirror. Anyway, my suggestion:

kxppkx (x = qrnb, especially useful probably x=r)
kxpkxp
kpppkr
kbppkr
krppkq
kbppkq

And I remember one game yace lost with krbkbn, which could have been drawn with the TB (the position was always mate in, but sometimes the mate was too long for the 50 moves rule. The opponent was Tiger, who did really a good job winning this).
