You can choose test positions and find the time to find the right move and
compare.

Here are some examples from the gcp test suite

[D]1r5r/3b1pk1/3p1np1/p1qPp3/p1N1PbP1/2P2PN1/1PB1Q1K1/R3R3 b - - 01 bm Nxg4
[D]b3r3/q2B2k1/3Q2p1/1p5p/3pP3/5P2/1p4PP/5RK1 b - - bm d3+
[D]r1bq1rk1/pp2bp1p/2p2np1/3p2B1/3P4/2NQ2N1/PPP2PPP/4RRK1 w - - bm Rxe7
[D]2r1rbk1/5pp1/bq5p/1pnBPN2/6Q1/N7/5PPP/R2R2K1 w - - bm Bxf7+
[D]2r1r1k1/pp1nbpp1/4pn1p/q3NN1P/P1pP1B2/2P5/1PQ2PP1/R3R1K1 w - - bm Nxg7
