That is very true and you just presented a good way to use NPS as an indicator. BUT, it still won't tell you probably anything about playing strenght. I just realized this with my engine. At fast time controls (this case represents a slow computer) a version without SEE seemed to perform better than a version with SEE. But with longer time control (same as fast computer) SEE performed better. This can be result of better branching factor of version with SEE so it can reach higher depths with less speedup than SEEless version. The same goes with above programs. Junior might be actually stronger than Nimzo even that Nimzo's NPS increased more. We still need games, many games... Severi
