You seem to be very impressed by the NPS, but you should know that in computer
chess NPS is definitely not a measure of strength.

As a matter of fact I could make a few quick changes that would double or triple
Chess Tiger's NPS. But the program would be weaker then.

Maybe a high NPS was impressive in the '70. Now it's obsolete...
