It is possible to take database of a very big database
and calculate frequency for every position.

The most common position is the opening position between it appears in every
game.

After this position we have the positions after 1.e4 or 1.d4 that may appear
in almost half of the games.

you can continue and every time choose
the position that has the highest frequency.


The question is now what are the positions that
programs often blunder after few minutes
of search.

I think that knowing these positions may
be productive for programmers to improve
their program.
