Nimzo.

It has a sharp tactical style IMO, and therefore is a tough challenge for the
positional player. I have seen this program play the sharpest tactical threats,
right from the beginning of the game (IOW after the book) more often than other
programs. Nimzo may provide a good test if you are able to steer, and keep, a
game on a positional track (although I think we could say that most programs can
provide that test).
