Bas spoke about material exchange, it is true. I had in sight just this logic. Question now is if all kind of logics, at minimax, goes approximately at the same speed. If it their NPS is the same, factor of five is still valid. At least, in my logic this is just like I said before. In "material exchange" (I call it positional logic) minimax NPS devided on alpha-beta NPS give around number five. Leonid. >> Computer was >>indicated as Pentium 466M.

And for material only evaluation? Leonid.
