Subject: a new type of test suite needed: to detect personality of engine:)

Strong engines defer dramatically in terms of their style of play . It would be
nice to have a test suite that would test for personality characteristics, such
as

1) attacking versus highly defensive style
2) attachment to material
3) tendency to attack king
Others?


 Fruit 2.2. seems ultra solid and stodgy. Fritz9 just wants to attack something,
anything! Rybka shows the greatest disdain for pawns and material of any program
i've seen. (my personality assessments could be wrong though, cause i don't have
a personality test suite)


Just think! if you could use this test suite for both humans and computers, you
could find the perfect match! (i.e., what program has a style most like your
own).
