Easually I don't look for response through the partial or quick logic. It can
give very evasive and completely wrong idea about real speed of the program.
Don't use also odd number of ply, since my logic don't provide all the time
perfect response for odd numbers. So, when I tried on Hiarcs through the "brute
force" search (fixed depth and selectivity put to zero), right response went
only on 8 ply search. Ah, yes! Hash table was put to possible minimum.

How you found there NPS number? I have the impression that I never have seen
this. Must look more carefully. Only Rebel provide them all the time. It is true
also that I almost never used Hiarcs for playing. This game is too good and
addicitive for me. Few time, in the past, I was able to play chess up to the 3
o'clock in the morning.
