To have a good test, the selected move needs to be better than other alternatives by a significant amount. If, say Rb8 is good but Rc8 has very close to the same score, then you can't really say that a program which selects Rc8 is wrong. It could do just as well in an actual game as one that selected Rb8. --Jon
