I'm not really understanding this sentence.  Are you talking about in selected
games generating an epd position of each move in the game and the slowly
analyzing the most potebtially difficult positions?

GM vs GM games?  Computer vs computer games?  GM vs computer games?  All of the
above?

And I would like to see people start suggesting and posting games & positions to
be included in this test suite because it seems like a worthwhile thing to
pursue.  Several people around CCC seem to be addicted to having programs
anayzing positions, but personally I find it rather difficult to tie this
computer up for 24 hours.
