Hi, Heiner!
It was very interesting for me in this position see your and mine program do
work without hash on the same computer. Everything went actually in almost twin
brothers indentical way. Your had only advantage in branching factor just after
9 move. When mine was already 11.6 between 11 and 12 move, your was still very
stable and around 5. Time for 12 moves was practially the same considering 12
move depth. Mine 1 hour and 49 min and your 3h 54 min. Considering that my
program is done on Assembler your went just slightly better that mine.
My time was:
Depth in moves Time Branching factor. NPS
4 moves 0,05 sec
2
5 moves 0.10 sec 44k
2.8
6 moves 0.27 sec 39k
2.8
7 moves 0.769 sec 42k
2.64
8 moves 2.03 sec 57k
4.16
9 moves 8.46 sec 74k
6.4
10 moves 54.78 sec 101k
10.5
11 moves 9 min 27 sec 116k
11.6
12 moves 1 h 49 min 32 sec 118k
Cheers,
Leonid.
