If so I'd be interested in the results. That tactical suite gives a rough measure of performance. However, there is no certain connection to playing strength. Play a few thousand games between the programs if you really want to determine which one is strongest. By the time you have completed (of course) new iterations of the products will be out and the tests will have no value. ;-)
