Good tactical suites?

[h1a8]

Are there any good yet newer tactical suites for chess engines?
Something analyzed for bugs and is accurate for testing tactical strength and not too easy for engines.
You post a link here or just P.M. me.

Arasan test suite is kept up to date. For me it's the best.

Maybe that some Glarean Brilliant Moves could be included in a "hard" test suite: some of these are really tough.

I really like the latest arasan suite. I tried to test it for cooks and it appears really solid. I think the strongest engines can solve most of the positions but there are many that will take a significant amount of time. I don't think any of them are trivial.

Thanks, what is the standard time I should give each engine? I'm going to run test on core2duo 64bit windows 7.

You could run it at any level - depends on whether you want a fast or slow test. If you use polyglot to test it will run for 5 seconds per position maximum by default.
