Precise Engine Testing - A new method of engine testing

Engine testing in a common way is rather simple, the common method is to set the two candidate engines, load a balance opening db such as nunn test suite or a balanced opening book with varied ECOs and set the match at tournament or blitz time control. This is done by popular engine testing sites such as CEGT or CCRL. The problem is with this of course is their accuracy and the time it takes for the tournament. It takes almost a year to test an engine and still has +/-10 elo error margin.

The new method takes a day or less, and has ~0.00 error margin, yes we will tackle the world of Micro-Elo :-)
