The above numbers were intended to show the effective branching factor.
The "nodes" above are "generated hash table entries", not searched positions.
Those can be seen (indirectly) from the numbers below.

Summing the above move numbers (every move makes a new position searched)
I get 25602785 / 441.02 = 58054 N/s.
