The so-called Nunn-test is a setup of 10 positions out of the opening theory.
The positions result from 10-15 moves and are taken over to get a general
strength of a program independent from its opening book (the progs have to
continue these positions without opening book and they have to play these
openings twice, once with white and once with black) because they are said to be
equal. I don't know where to get them, maybe Sheps site, because I am not
interested in that Nunn test.
