During testing the engines should ideally play the same style of openings they would play in a normal tournament, so not to optimize them for different types of positions. One option is to use the engines own [[Opening Book|opening book]] or one can use [[Test-Positions#OpeningSuites|opening suites]], a set of quiet test positions. In the latter case the same opening suit would be used for each tournament conducted and furthermore each position is played a second time with colors reversed. With these measures one can try to minimize the disparity between tests caused by different openings.
