Hi leonid,

sorry, wasn't around for a couple of days, so I missed the thread.

My idea was a bit different from Dann's, and I don't know if that would help
you.

i) Fix a (sufficiently large) set of test positions with hopefully unique
solutions (single best moves); here Dann's work comes into play in order to
ensure the quality of this set;

ii) find out (and publish) how several engines do on those (if they find the
solution, how long they take).

This would enable the interested to get a more detailed comparison between
various engines, and help programmers evaluate their own code.

This was in reply to somebody's question whether or not to take testing
positions to evaluate programs. However, there was no positive feedback so far,
so I dropped the matter.

Sven.
