OK, that was Nunn. It would be very senseful to play "normal" games.

I don't know why you stuck to the Nunn positions. I haven't done yet, maybe
someone here can start a tourney between the SSDF Top-10 (or some less)
preferable on MMX200 using the Nunn positions. If he/we get (almost) the same or
very very close ranking then I would accept the Nunn test. But I doubt that this
will come true. Like it or not, 10 positions is not much...
