The gripe I have is with "finding" in general.  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...
