Hi Tord,

I don't know if it's comparable with LCT II but maybe you wanna have a look at
the test suite "Weltmeister-Test" (WM-Test) ?
The "WM-Test" includes 100 test positions from games of the different (human)
chess world champions: 38 positions in King attack, 36 positions in positional
playing and 26 positions in endgame.

Meanwhile I have tested 187 chess programs/engines in this test suite (including
all professional engines and many freeware engines); my hardware: AMD Athlon
Thunderbird 1400 MHz, 384 MB DDR-RAM.
Each of the 100 test positions was tested 20 minutes in analyse mode, without
access to opening books, but with access to endgame databases (Nalimov
tablebases, complete 3/4/5 men).

My results are presented in a MS-Excel chart (also english version available).
Free download of the 100 test positions (cbh, cbf, pgn, epd) and the Excel chart
