Hmmmmmmmmmm, I think you're being argumenatative for the sake of it.  Little
Goliath is not perfect but if there is one thing is is good at it's tactics.

All of the following positions are solved quickly by LG and I would certainly
say that this *does* indicate tactical strength.  If test positions don't games
certainly don't e.g. Shredder 4 is weak at tactics but nevertheless strong

Times for a 1.5 GHz P4 - I'd be interested in Movei's times.  For it to be "not
quite as good" I'd expect it to solve all of these within 30 secs each

LG 2 secs (Nxf6)

[d]r1b2r2/3pNpkp/3pn1p1/2pN3P/2PnP3/q3QP2/4BKP1/1R5R w - - 0 1

LG 3 secs (Qh6)

[d]r5r1/8/bRP1pk1p/3pNp2/5P2/7P/PR4P1/6K1 w - - 0 1

LG 8 secs (Rxa6)
