Hi Vincent,

>chessprograms!

I think the goal behind that testset is to have a test that you can use to test
if you have made tactical progress with your engine... and you can test it fast
and it didn't take several days to get any results.

>>I tried the suite with Bringer up to 1 minute/move.

>>1  second/move	76/184
>>5  seconds/move	109/184
>>10 seconds/move	124/184
>>30 seconds/move	143/184
>>1  minute/move	156/184

look at this, that is very nice, with more time there is a real difference
between the amount of solved positions...
At WAC we have something like:

1 second - 265/300
5 second - 289/300
10 second - 296/300
1 minute 298/300
1000 hours 299/300

that does not help any programmer - he can not see if his changes have helped at
anything, there are to many positions way to easy...

By the way: indicate your results of Diep ?! (With hardware please... :)

Greets, Thomas
