There is a danger when constructing test-set if you use one spesific program to
confirm the correctness of the position.
If you use f.ex. Fritz 5 to check position, it is as excpected if a newer
version (Fritz 7) would find the solution within shorter time.

I have no idea if this is true for this testset.
