Talk:Nolot

This article has a lot of technical terms that people who do not have experience with chess would not understand. This should be rewritten into a more user-friendly article with less technical talk. MJ 16:26, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Clean up

I have redone the diagrams using the board template, stripped out or commented out the editorializing/narrating commentary/OR ("Computer X shouldn't be able to solve this for 10 years" and my favorite "Ribli is a solid player...") and reworked the remaining annotations to have them read cleaner. The main thing missing here are sources; the web does pull up some, and I have to guess some standard computer chess books refer to this suite. If anyone has any of these books, your assistance in soucring this article is greatly appreciated. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 16:50, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Name

Should be Nolot test suite or Nolot chess test suite. --AndrejJ (talk) 15:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I made those pages into redirects back here. I have no strong opinions about which should be the main page. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 15:43, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Nolot 9

"B2b. 4.Qg4 gxf6 5.gxf6 Nxd3 (5...Bf8? 6.Qh3+ Kg8 7.Bh6! is winning) 6.Rxd3 Bf8 7.Rdd1 is unclear."

Stockfish at depth >30 thinks 7. Rdd1 is a bad move:

FEN: r1r2b1k/5p2/2n1pPb1/p3P3/1p1p1BQ1/3R2P1/qP3PB1/2R3K1 w - - 1 7

analysis after 7. Rcd1:

So above line should be changed into "7.Rcd1 is winning."? --176.198.187.19 (talk) 15:53, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
