It is possible to find which engine is better at blitz by
playing blitz games and if it means nothing then it means also
that 40/120 games meant nothing some years ago.

One position is not a proof that the program is stronger.
A program may be better in position A and worse in position B.

It may be possible to guess a small improvement based on test
of many positions but it is only a guess.

evaluation may be changed based on the history of the game
(I know that it is at least the case for a previous version of
rebel)
so using only test positions when the engine has not the history
of the games is not the right way
to compare the strength of engines.
