Hi,

Wow, I ran this suite and barely got 15 right!  Actual result was 20/80 @ 20 sec
per move.  It seemed like the ones my engine was able to get were mostly
tactical wins (score jumped up when it got the right one).  Are most of these
positions largely positional in nature or are they just deeper tactics than my
engine could search?  I suspect the former.  I wonder how "subjective" these
positional "best" moves are?  Would it be a good idea in general to tune the
eval to see such moves (i.e. would doing so likely increase strength and not
just cook the engine to get a better score on a suite?).  How do other amateur
engines do on this suite?

Thanks,
Scott
