I think it is tactical but deep. Anyway, In general I do not like this kind of positions because many programs find the move because they like a draw (perpetual), when the position is a win. That would score better than a program that is looking for a win (because positionally thinks it is better) but still did not find how to win. For instance, it was shown that there are other ways to get a draw score in this position. It was discussed some time ago. People thought there were some cooks because they believed that the goal was a draw. In other words, a test like this might introduce some noise and should not be present in a very high quality test suite, IMHO. Regards, Miguel
