I think that this kind of test would be wrong, if the program don't play exactly
the same moves as GM. Playing even 99% of the GM moves is not enough, because
just one different move would change a lot in the game. Still adding a lot of
speedness to your machine, you could not find that different move. GM's brain
doesn't run in a way that we can compare to machine. GM's brain (and ours brain
too) works using acknowledgment, fantasy, intelligence and... a bit of fortune
;-)

After all, your test could be interesting, from the programmer's side of view.

Ciao!!!
