I built, based on large databases of human games a positional test-suite for middlegame phase of the game, roughly moves 15-22. The statistics of human games on each position is weaker than in openings, so it was harder to have some confidence in chosen unique solutions. I used engines mostly for checking to not have tactical complications in positions.
I have 250 middlegame positions in this positional test-suite. I also combined 4 of them in a suite of 1000 positions, for the statistical significance of the result. Results can vary quite a bit on just one run of the test-suite (especially on many cores), so 4 runs are better to have a more precise result. I uploaded here the positional Middlegames250 test-suite, combined 4 Middlegames1000 test-suite, the old Openings200 test-suite and combined 5 Openings1000 test-suite. They are the most faithfully positional test suites I am aware of, and are my creation .
The results using positional Middlegames1000 suite:
AB engines on 4 strong i7 cores.
Lc0 on RTX 2070 GPU
Positions found in time interval from 1 to 2 seconds per position using Polyglot EPD testing features.
