If you looked through this position by brute force, please say me what was
average nodes/second rate for this position.

Recently, I speeded my mate solver and installed in the same time NPS counter.
Was surprised by finding that NPS is very low. It is usually somewhere between
35k and 120K on my AMD 400Mhz.

Cheers,
Leonid.
