it just goes to prove exactly how worthless these 'test sets' are. I can
guarantee you that version 16.13 plays better _chess_ than any of the 9.x or
15.x versions...  based on many games...  I wouldn't be surprised at all that
9.x did better on tactical suites... it had some specific tactical extensions
(null-move threat extension for one thing, not to be confused with the null-move
mate extension most use now)...  so it played tactics fine...  but would be
smeared by 16.13 in real games...
