Subject: an idea to test positional understanding of chess programs.

The idea is to do a match between chess programs at tournament time control when
both sides have the right to take back moves(they will use it  if they discover
that they do a tactical mistake).

Every program lose 5 minutes in the time  when it take back a move
and the opponent earns 5 minutes.

Programmers should change their program to consider take back but I do not think
that it is a big change.

It is logical to tell the program to calculate if to take back a move only when
there is a big change in the evaluation against it and it can be productive only
if the mistake was a tactical mistake(otherwise it should take back many moves
to avoid losing and it will lose on time because it is losing 5 minutes for
every take back).

What is your opinion about it?
