I find such tests pretty useless, to be honest. If the computers don't
understand how to play a certain position, what exactly do you want to conclude
from the results of this computer-experiment?

It's like playing a comp-comp tournament after the moves "d4 d5" and drawing
conclusions about how well they play the queenspawn-gambit. ;) [how however that
is called exactly]
