Thanks for your time and all your comments. I would like to repeat that
positions that contain both bm and am fields are solved when all bm moves are
given a better evaluation thal all am moves. As a consequence, there are some
positions where the analysis given is not enough to decide whether the problem
was solved or not.

So far, results for Crafty and Hiarcs are:

0000 Crafty and Hiarcs take with the Knight. This position looks wrong.

0001 H : OK
     C : wrong

0002 H : OK
     C : do not know but seems OK

0003 H : seems OK
     C : do not know (Bf1 has to be evaluated better than Bxc5 too)

0004 H : OK, but with hesitation
     C : wrong

0005 too easy

0006 H : probably OK
     C : OK

0007 H : OK
     C : OK

0008 H : OK
     C : OK

0009 H : OK, with hesitation
     C : OK

0010 H : OK
     C : OK

0011 H : do not know. probably wrong
     C : do not know

0012 H : OK
     C : OK

0013 H : do not know
     C : OK

0014 H : OK
     C : OK

0015 H : OK, but takes a long time
     C : OK

0016 H : OK
     C : OK

0017 H : OK
     C : OK

0018 H : OK
     C : OK

0019 H : OK, hesitation
     C : wrong
I am not sure about this positions anyway. Besides, it involves quite a lot of
tactics which does not make it a good positional test.

0020 H : OK
     C : OK

For 0021, 0022 and 0023 Hiarcs, Crafty and Fritz agree. My problem here is that
I do not understand these positions. Why are am moves bad if they are ? I'd be
interested in human opinion here.
