The only problem with the Aemis suites is that they have probably not been
verified as to whether the key move is the only solution (as it should be with a
"real test suite").
Don't forget the positions were taken from annotated GM games but is hasn't been
checked whether the annotator overlooked something.
I wouldn't put as much trust in this suite as e.g. in the LCT II, but it's still
a very interesting test of our programs' abilities.
