Interesting post, but I think this nps value for Genius is way too high.
On my old Pentium Pro 200MHz, Genius 6.0 searches about 80000 nps in an
average middlegame position.  It is well-known that Genius is faster on
a Pentium than on a Pentium Pro, but I doubt that the Pentium is more than
twice as fast ...
