Quite a coincidence ... I just mentioned this test in the CCR test thread.

Somehow I think that that test is not very meaningful; I posted the results of
my Pretz March last year (when it had very little positional knowledge) at 1
minute per position (iso the required 15'/p):

Score: 129 (5 10 10 7 7 10 10 10 10 10 10 8 0 5 10 7)
