Thanks Heiner for numbers! It is interesting for me to glance on them since I
have no counters of this kind in my mate solver. Have them only for the second
part of my program.

Those few last years I was very little with my program. Expect to come back and
put all hash, and anything else, when I will rewrite it for expected 64 bits
chip and the most probable for Linux. For now money and few other hobbies keep
me in safe distance from my chess program.

Leonid.
