The important point is that Fritz finds the move that solves the problem. If the
resulting position is so bloody important, then it should also be part of the
test suite.

(I don't know very much about this Nolot test. One of the conditions may be that
the programs also find the appropriate PVs. In that case, I think the PV
positions should be considered part of the suite.)
