Subject: An idea to generate a new test suite that is not only tactics

It is possible to use some games and a lot of computer time to genrate a test
suite.

The idea is to give some top programs to analyze all the positions in the games
and to give them 24 hours per position.

The test suite can include all the positions that there was an agreement between
all the top programs about the best move after 24 hours of search when part of
them needed more than 3 minutes to converge to the best move(otherwise the
position is too easy).

People can claim that the fact that all of the program converge to the same move
is not a proof that it is the best move and I agree but I think that in
more than 90% of the cases the solution will be correct.
