You should try positions with the king in the centre for Kingsafety tests
Most programs are worse in these positions then in positions where both sides or
1 side has lost the right of casteling.
An other difeculty starts when the atack is not only based on kingsafety
but also on positional bases
I mean positions where a piece sacrefice is made for 2 pawns
After which the 2passed pawns become stronger then a piece.
