I do not know what is the definition of "positional" chess.

Every program has positions that it understands better and position that it does
not understand.

If you mean finding the best move when there is no one move that wins material
then I believe that humans also do not understand often what is the best
move so we cannot know which programs is best.

It is possible to do a test suite based on positions that humans understand but
it is only part of the practical positions that program have to play when they
do not see a way to win material.
