I can't provide a correct test suite, because I haven't identified cases where
my program finds a solution, but there is also a cook that my program didn't
find.

Also, there is some debate as to what a solution is.  If a program returns mate
in 14 for the solution, and a won +5 for the second best move, is this position
cooked?  What if the solution is +5 and the cook is mate in 14?  Are the both
solutions, or is the mate in 14 the real solution, or what?

I'm not that hot to do more work on this because the suite is too easy.
