Hi Chris,
  Are you aware of the 10 Nunn Test Positions that come with Hiarcs7.32 which
uses the Fritz interface, so Fritz probaly has the same! The opening test
positions were chosen because each position is supposed to be equall from that
particular opening. I believe that you are suppose to play 2 games from each
test position so each engine will get white and black and so you will then have
a total of 20 games for your tests!

Regards,Terry
