Sune,

I agree that Goliath is probably not doing a search exactly like what others are
doing.  Nevertheless it is strong tactically (not just due to a high NPS) and it
does seem to do some leaf node evaluation (it certainly does the square of
passed pawns trick).  I remember the author did confirm that the key bit are
hand coded assembler and he was counting nodes in the usual manner i.e. on entry
to AlphaBeta.  Overall I prefer to err on the side of being impressed and not
right-off the nps just because it's high.

Regards,

Steve
