How many positions are in the Nunn test suite?

Postby Volker Pittlik » 16 Aug 2006, 10:13

IIRC there were two suites with 10 positions each.

At CSS they claim there is one suite with 20 positions (http://www.computerschach.de/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=52&func=select&id=4), but the files they offer contains 25 positions.

Does someone really know?

confused

Nunn initially created a test of 10 positions:

Later Nunn created "nunn2" test of 20 positions:

Other "nunn" tests are not created by GM Nunn himself.
