I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
The "suggested" moves are not the "solutions" or the best moves. They are moves
that Chezzz played but that I suspect are suboptimal. That doesn't mean that
these are "avoid move" tests, but... I guess I should have been more clear about
it.

I would really like to know:
1. Are the moves suboptimal or indeed really bad?
2. Why are the moves bad? Why do your engine reject these moves, and why does it
like some other move instead?
