===Test suites=== Engines can be tested by measuring their performance on specific positions. Typical is the use of test suites where for each given position there is one best move to find. These positions can be geared towards positional, tactical or endgame play. The [[Nolot]] test suite, for instance, focuses on deep sacrifices.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://sccs.muldermedia.de/index.php?section=suites |title=Nolot test suite |access-date=2007-08-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070817183737/http://sccs.muldermedia.de/index.php?section=suites |archive-date=2007-08-17 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The BT2450 and BT2630 test suites measure the tactical capability of a chess engine and have been used by [[REBEL (chess)|REBEL]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.fishdev.net/chess/palmchess/bt2450.html |title=BT2450 test suite |access-date=2007-10-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070907134734/http://www.fishdev.net/chess/palmchess/bt2450.html |archive-date=2007-09-07 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rebel.nl/rebelfaq/rc3faq03.htm|title=Rebel Century FAQ: 3.
