A normal chess program at Mint's level is not going to get a better score than a normal chess program at Comet's level in test suites like the GCP test suite. This test suite is a joke because programs can often solve it for the wrong reason. The problem is not the fact that the test is to avoid moves but the fact that programs can often avoid the move for the wrong reason. Uri
