Dan is right. I can claim right now that Nimzo98 is the best tactician of all
because I tried the position with the Internet connection on and Shredder 2 and
Nimzo98 analysing the position at the same time -- Shredder did not find the
right move in about two minutes (as long as I let it ponder), but Nimzo98 was
quick and locked on 1.Nxg7 after 53 sec... evaluating it + 0.98 (AMD K6-II
/300).  Hereby I claim that the best tactician of all is Nimzo98...

This only shows that any test position (for that matter even a bunch of them)
cannot determine whether a program is the best of all in any given area.  What
is needed is *the path leading to such positions*.  And that is where a GM, or a
computer GM excells.
