It might be worthwhile if you have an amateur program that is 800 points or so
weaker than Fritz or whatever.  Of course if you succeed then you will be
duplicating Fritz' weaknesses, though you will be much better than you were
before.  Ultimately it is much more desirable to have very accurate test suites,
but this is not an easy thing.  I think Dann has shown a great many errors in
common test suites for example.  What is the most accurate test suite for
positional chess?  I don't know.  How can a test suite be created where we have
a high confidence that white is slightly better, or much better, black is
slightly worse, etc.?
