Severi,

I have been running my engine vs. the ECM (encyclopedia of chess middlegames)
suite at 20 sec / move.  I have also run it (less frequently) against the WAC
(win at chess) and WCSAC (winning chess sacrifices) suites.

I am using the 879 position ECM ... have heard some people prefer other subsets
of this suite or some newer version of this suite... but have not looked into
it.  I run the test at 20 sec / move currently.

These suites are available on my webpage
http://wannabe.guru.org/scott/chess.html.  I got them from a huge list of
tactical suites at http://www.crosswinds.net/~ossimitz/tactic.htm.  Good luck,
have fun!

Scott
