I think you can only evaluate static evaluation in the context of a search and a tournament between programs. You could start with a simple 1-ply search and play against gnugo. Strength in life and death or predicting pro moves doesn't correlate with the ability to win games.

Does anyone know references about published benchmark tests for static evaluation functions, for example, in predicting moves in professional games or best moves in life and death problems or predicting the status of semeai problems? The published benchmarks need not be for a static evaluation function in the traditional sense, they could be for an opening book or a MCTS program with very short times available.
