I looked only in the first positions but I think that it is a bad test for
humans by your formula
The formula says that humans are not going to suffer from stupid tactical
mistakes so the best strategy for humans is simply to guess a sacrifice even in
cases when they do not see the tactical reason.

I think that a better formula for humans should be 1564+% correct x12- % stupid
sacrifices *24
