Thanks for the interest!

But one tip which may be important: #9 and #22 are "avoid move" (am) tests, IOW.
the moves shown after the am tag are mistakes, which the program must avoid
within one minute.

I see in you results that these positions probably have been treated like "best
move" (bm) tests. In #9, programs "find" the wrong move at low depths, and in
#22 - which is easy - many seem to fail, but actually they are quick avoiding
Qxe4? which would loose the Nd7 soon.

#20 is like an avoid move test, but here only bm Qe8 solves. People who don't
use the EPD but the PGN/CBF should be aware of that (Qe8 is a variation in that
data, while Kxg5?? was played in the game. This position can arise from an
opening trap in the Alekhine.)

Results from P3/700 for comparison:
