They have to be appropriate for engine vs. engine matches, not for humans. Every position (when out of line) is tested with Shredder 9, known for good evalution. Most positions are from Encyclopedia A by the way and there are some rare ones, what is intended. Harry wrote to me his thoughts about this and for me it was convincing. I could send to you more info via email. Of course when there is critics Harry will try to improve, like he always does. Best Regards Heinz
