Probably the best way is to mix significant imbalanced positions (static vs. dynamic, static vs. different static, dynamic vs. different dynamic) with some not so imbalanced positions (quiet?) since BOTH do occur in real games. This not only gives a more accurate feeling of which engine is stronger but it can tell where lies the more strength.

I would also test early endgame positions. Early endgame strength is also a must for analysis.


This was exactly the intention of an engine test in a former German Computerchess Journal! It´s a pity that I have only 10 such positions - not more Smile
