Hi, Heiner!

Your time is very nice and close to what I could see. So, very often (not all
the time) good branching factor is indicative for very solvable position. I was
not wrong when indicated this position as "light". Mine took by brute force in
108 sec. on AMD 400.

And what was average NPS for this position is you looked into it by brute force.
I want to see where is my brute force NPS. I have now this counter only for
brute force but not for selective. For selective search expect to install later.
For brute force my NPS goes around 6 or 7 times below of what I expected after
other past of my chess program. For this position (mate solver) NPS is "very
high". It is around 100K on AMD 400Mhz.

Cheers,
Leonid.
