Hopefully, we do something right. I can assure you that I do not tune
towards test suites but rather towards standard game play. However,
I do use test suites and test positions to partly verify any changes.

If your FEN is correct, this is an easy position for
"DarkThought WCCC'99". It locks onto dxc6 almost
