Yes, my intention with this was testing the test suite, i.e. showing that the
test suite can demonstrate this difference. It would be no good test if all 3
had roughly the same score.

In this particular case after 400 games (Nunn):
no verification search at all is about 20 points stronger than the other two,
which are pretty much at the same level.
However, this was with resign on at 700 millipawns. I assume that the version
without verification search will in reality not be able to indeed win all those
won positions where the opponent has resigned, so that in practice this setting
is probably not a good choice.
