I grabbed the test suite, and did a quick run of it using my program LambChop. At 30sec/move on a 1ghz machine my program gets 81/100 correct, so my first thought is that the test is a bit on the easy side. Even at 5sec/move, 71/100 are solved. Note, my program doesn't use tablebases. I think you mentioned that the test was supposed to be run without tablebases, I don't like that restriction - I can't see the point. Looking through the suite, there seem to be alot of low material positions. And lots of little tactical tricks while not many positional motifs. So I don't think there is enough variation there in general. Still, I'm sure some of those positions could be used if we were to build another test suite. cheers, Peter
