Postby Swaminathan » 12 Aug 2009, 03:35

Chapter 5 of the Strategic Test Suite: Bishop vs Knight is now available for download.

* Consists of carefully selected 100 questionairres on Bishop vs Knight

* All of the questions in this test suite are selected by me and thoroughly verified by Dann Corbitt after close to several hundreds of hours of analysis, Each question has been analysed by top engines for hours.

* All the answers carry similar traits:

(1) When to offer the Bishop for trade with the Knight, and vice versa.
(2) Tests your engine's understanding of superior minor pieces.
(3) This test also evaluates your engine's ability to distinguish between superior knight, superior Bishop, doubled pawns, resultant pawn structure after the trade-off etc.

Special Thanks to Pedro Castro, Allard Siemelink, Zach Wegner for the testing and correcting mistakes throughout the process.
