Well, not exactly. When I was being asked about the Gothic Chess program's
speed, it was not completed. This did not satisfy the person who still wanted
some metrics, so one had to be devised.

Since that time, I have completed the program, and just recently incorporated
some of Dr. Hyatt's insights in the Crafty program.

On a 2.8 GHz Pentium IV, Gothic Vortex will average about 445,000 nodes per
second from the stating position. This includes conducting a full search.

Please understand the original request for data was made prior to even having a
primitive alpha-beta search hooked up.

As it was worded, the request was "how fast is your move generator", which I
tried to answer.
