Hello Geert,

of course I do not know which website you mean.
But maybe you should have a look at http://www.computerschach.de/test/index.htm

There you'll find a link "Weltmeister-Test" with a ZIP file for download with my
results (in Excel) of 230 chess engines (all commercials and many freeware) in a
test suite called "Weltmeister-Test" (WM-Test).

The "WM-Test" includes 100 test positions from games of the different (human)
chess world champions:
38 positions in King attack, 36 positions in positional playing and 26 positions
in endgame.

Each of the 100 test positions was tested 20 minutes in analyse mode, without
access to opening books, but with access to endgame databases (Nalimov
tablebases, complete 3/4/5 pieces).

Regards,
Manfred
