This I learned my hard way. The only, probably wrong approximation here, I see
in considering that other programs with extensions will go some extra ply
searching given position. So they must take here and there around five fold more
time to solve identical position. This was the only way, until now, to guess
about my positional logic speed by comparing it brute force search to others.
The next minor indication came from speed of mate solver that use the same move
generator and other parts as well, and also nodes per second rate.

Extension for check I can probably see in the time of my mate solver that work
all the time before positional logic. Its time is simply negligeable with
exception for the end of the game.
