Subject: Have your chess program go for a spin...

I am testing a tool written by Les Fernandez.  It takes a given chess position,
and transforms it into rotated or mirrored images.  For each position, the
evaluation should (obviously) be identical.  Also, you would think that the
depth in plies reached would also be the same.  Funny, but it does not always
work out that way.  Sometimes, the chess programs I test will even choose a
different best move than the theoretically predicted one.

How does your program do when analyzing these 4 positions which are "exactly the
same, only completely different"?
