A new Section "Chess Tests" has been created as well, this is an abridged part of its description:

"With the advent of the Internet and my access to it in 1995, I pondered the idea of creating my own web page dedicated to HP Calcs and another one dedicated to Computer Chess and both materialized ca. 1998 as twin sites which proved quite popular until the free server where they were located was spammed to death and went out of business.

After a 20-year hiatus I resurrected the HP Calcs one and I have now resurrected the Computer Chess site, "Chess Tests" as well, the latter not as web pages again but as a set of near-facsimile PDF documents which preserve most of the contents with the same aspect and formatting the original simple, hand-created HTML web pages had back in 1998.

Chess Tests did at the time attract considerable attention and many chess authors (including true celebrities such as Mr. Robert Hyatt, the creator of the world-class Cray Blitz and Crafty chess programs, and top chess programmers such as Heiner Marxen, author of CHEST) sent their valuable results and many interesting comments."
