Vasik, >For pure material-only evaluation, Rybka WinFinder 1.0 in "naive" mode should >be an order of magnitude faster than any "real engine". I've been playing around with WinFinder and have a quick question. If the naive mode is only using material why are the nodes per second so low? When I set the mode to naive I get a nps of, at most, double the normal rate (e.g. 150 knps). I would imagine that material only would be much faster (e.g. > 1500 nps) - any reason why? Is the naive mode using piece square tables or pure material only (e.g. knight worth 3.3 pawns no matter where it's located)? Regards, Steve
