Hei, Severi!

Nice to hear that you have started to write chess program! My Nero is one
of the slowest programs. On my 486DX-120MHz it evaluates about 1000 positions
per second. Perhaps it can reach 10.000 positions per second on the fastest
pentiums. (In endgame positions Nero is many times faster than that thought.)

More important number is the searchdepth your program can reach in certain
time.

I think you should download some programs and try them on your computer
and compare their skills with your own program.

If you are interested: The latest version of Nero can be found from:
