First of all, sorry for my poor english. I'm not one of the authors of the test
suite "WM-Test" so only one remark:
It's not always the goal of the test positions in WM-Test to find the WIN but
also to hold the BALANCE in the game by finding the claimed only solution move.

To this position # 15 of WM-Test for example Deep Junior 8.ZX (after 10 minutes,
depth 16):

Kasparov - Topalov, Wijk aan Zee 1999
b2r3r/k4p1p/p2q1np1/NppP4/3p1Q2/P4PPB/1PP4P/1K1RR3 w - - 0 24

Analysis by Deep Junior 8.ZX:

1. = (0.00): 1.Rxd4 cxd4 2.Re7+ Kb6 3.Qxd4+ Kxa5 4.b4+ Ka4 5.Qc3 Qxd5 6.Qc7 Qd1+
7.Kb2 Qd4+ 8.Kb1
2. µ (-1.13): 1.Nc6+ Bxc6 2.Qxd6 Rxd6 3.dxc6 Kb6 4.Re7 Kxc6 5.Ra7 Kd5 6.Rxf7 Re8
7.f4
3. µ (-1.13): 1.Re5 Kb6
