I was very impressed with Fritz numbers only because they were between 220 and 320k on AMD 400Mhz. Your numbers are almost twice as fast. On the same hardware average NPS for other best programs were, for similar positions, between 140 and 180k. I see that you are more that lucky with numbers. >With null move off, it searches 655k NPS. > >The difference is 3.3%. Good to know that this difference is negligeable. >Basically, I wouldn't worry how much faster Fritz is without null move, for >three reasons: >1) The difference is probably pretty insignificant >2) You'd never want to run Fritz without null move in real-world situations >3) You didn't write Fritz With few exceptions (Hiarcs is the most flagrant one) I found that NPS is good indicative of the strength of the chess program. Inside of Hiarcs package (tried only few positions) Crafty had the best NPS immediately after Fritz. It is probably the most strong engin after Fritz as well. Leonid. >-Tom
