I think the best position to test SEE, is a kind of where _you_ also can easily
follow the thinking process and that you can first manually count the resulting
score. Compose a position where there are knights, bishops, rooks, queens and a
king attacking a single piece or a pawn and be sure to include a few batteries.
Check out that your SEE resolves these batteries and screws properly and that
the precense of king affects the final score (king should be the last one to
capture and no-one can't capture a king) I think leonid's positions are
unnecessarily complex for this...
