Hello there again,
Here is some more information on the test.
First of all, it is called Bednorz-ToeNissen Test (my mistake). It was
published in the german magazine 'Computer Schach und Spiele', issue 5/91,
pp. 38-41. It approximates a rating in german ELO-points (I think about
100 more than the US).
For UNIX the positions and 'correct moves' are contained in 'gnutest.tar.Z'
at 'valkyries.andrew.cmu.edu'. For DOS the positions, the 'correct moves',
two batchfiles for autotesting and 3 sample files are contained in
'gnutest.exe' at the valkyries. The files are to be found in either
/pub/chess/Unix or /pub/chess/DOS on that archive.
Here is a table comparing some BT-ratings with the swedish ELO-list:

...
GNU Chess 4.0 pl.60 (DJPG) 1745                               486-50

It would be interesting to see the ratings of GNU Chess 4.0 on some more
powerful platforms than the ones I tested (386-16, 486-33/50). So - test
and report. If you email me the result-files containing GNU Chess'
analysis (gnuchesr's thinking) on the positions it solved correctly I
will summarise to the net.
