Would be interesting to submit your problem suite to human experts, masters, IMs, and GMs, to see how well their ratings can be predicted. If human ratings can be predicted JUST AS WELL as the computer ratings, then maybe chess is really much more of a tactical game than we'd all care to admit, and there really isn't anything special about being human. Maybe all this emphasis on positional understanding is really crap. Maybe we just can't see how tactically rich the chess tree is. On the other hand, if the human ratings are not well predicted by the test, then maybe there is something that humans are doing well that computers are not, the position that most people would now take.
