Subject: Different test suite method?

Author: David Dahlem

Date: 12:33:41 06/15/04


One of the problems with the current method of testing engines with test suites
(e.g. WM-Test) is the problem of proving that the proposed solution move is
actually the best move, especially with positions of a positional nature.
Perhaps a new method would avoid this problem, namely a suite of mate positions,
with known, more easily proven solutions? Time to solution could be the criteria
by which engines are evaluated.

Just an idea. Any thoughts? Would this work?

Dave
