Raises hand. Chinese rules version for 9x9 and 13x13 would be quite helpful if that's what you are offering. Different komi would be fine.

(And, though almost all the positions were modified enough from those in the book to probably not be covered by copyright, I did get Richard's permission to include them in the test suite.) All positions were modified to fit on a 9x9 board, and IIRC all were set up so that the correct move(s) won the game, while all incorrect moves lost the game. (However that'd be in Japanese rules; they'll need modifying or a different komi for the same to be true in Chinese rules.) If there is any interest I'll dust them off and release the test suite properly. (And would there be interest in the same kind of test suite for 13x13 and 19x19 boards?)

Or (even better from my point of view) do you have some example positions that demonstrate the exceptional cases, with the correct answer shown?
