Subject: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Quiet Test, version 0.00

You are in a library, surrounded by carriages holding sleeping babies.

Time for "quiet test", version 0.00

Does your program think like a GM when there is no tactical shot nearby?

It will take you 24 hours to find out.  The test runs all day and all night, and
finishes in under 24 hours at one second per position.

The positions in this test are taken from real super-GM games {ELO 2700+}, and
from correspondence masters, as well as a few from the most highly rated chess
programs running on GHz machines at 40/2.

No tactical threats, no obvious moves for material reason.

Will you score higher than 25%?

Here is the test compressed with bzip2:

Here is the test uncompressed:

It consists of 81,660 distinct positions and takes 22.7 hours to run at 1 second
per position.
