Switch to the database window and open a database of test positions. The
database should only contain positions, and no games. Each position should have the
first move of the solution. If there are two solutions, then the alternative move should
be given as a variation.
In the board window, click Ana ly sis

Proc e ss t e st se t .

The following dialog box appears:

Maximum time: Defines the maximum length of time the program should work on each
position.
Extra ply: When the engine finds the solution, then it should not stop immediately.
The correct move may have come up by chance. The program should at least finish
calculating the current ply depth. This corresponds to the setting Extra ply = 1. If you
want to be sure, you can make the program go one or two plies deeper. This may,
however, greatly extend the processing time.
First position: Allows you to specify from which position the program should start.
Thus, if you have interrupted a session, you can easily continue at a later time.
Previous results: The program keeps a record of the results achieved by each engine
that has run the test. It displays these in a sorted list. This contains the following
results:
The number of positions solved in the allocated maximum time per position.
The average solution time of all the positions that were solved.
The average solution time of all the positions (including those not solved).
This last value, which of course is influenced by the maximum time set, is the most
illuminating. While the program is working you see the current results (how many
positions solved, percentage, average time) in the area just below the status bar at
the top of the board window.
