Enrique does not believe that slow searchers are weaker.

Hiarcs7 won his previous tournament and it is slower in NPs relative to other
programs in his tournament.

Enrique found from his experience in the past that good solvers of his secret
tactical test suite are better in the ssdf list
but found that this theory is wrong for junior that got better results in games
inspite of not being a good solver.

Yes

You miss the fact that it is not the right order.

It is also possible to change the definition of NPS without changing the
programs.
