IE I'd like to find some positions that are "positional"... where we all agree that a 4 ply search is enough to see "why". Many positional tests are really deep tactical tests. Others are positional, but they require deep searches to see the "stinger" at the end, so faster searches again help. I'd like to see a pure knowledge-based test suite where the "stinger" is not so deep that it takes a deep search to find it. And where "right" is =+1, wrong = 0, and the score at the end gives some measure of how strong the program is. SO far I've seen nothing like this...
