Well, I found the error (it's not so easy with assembler...) and now my program
plays 1...e6 and I'm satisfied so far.

BTW how fast "should" the program be? Mine calculates now some 40000 positions
with Celeron 300Mhz. Is the NPS rating the actual number of positions evaluated
per second or is it the total number (even those cut off with A-B)?
