I think that it will be productive if programmers can see comments about the
mistakes that programs do.

I do not play the king's indian not with white and not with black.
I think that some test position when all the top programs do a mistake at least
in one of them and explanation of the mistakes may be productive because
the first step to fix a problem is to understand what is the problem.
