In this case it does not show nodes per second but in the following position
it shows nodes per second

[D]8/8/pppppppK/NBBRQNRp/nbbrqnrP/PPPPPPPk/8/8 w - - 0 1

Analysis by Rybka 1.0 Beta 32-bit:

1.dxe4
  +-  (2.46)   Depth: 3   00:02:22
1.dxe4
  +-  (2.46)   Depth: 4   00:03:01
1.dxe4 dxe5
  +-  (2.46)   Depth: 5   00:05:22
1.Qxd4 Qxd5
  +-  (2.77)   Depth: 5   00:06:16
1.Qxd4 dxc5 2.Qxe4
  +-  (3.06)   Depth: 6   00:08:19  4kN
1.Qxd4 dxc5 2.Qxe4 Bxd5
  +-  (3.06)   Depth: 7   00:12:59  18kN

(,  01.01.2006)

For some reason it searches only 4000 nodes in 499 seconds.
This really seem strange that static analysis takes so much time

I could believe 100,000 nodes per seconds on My A3000 and even 10,000 nodes per
seconds but less than 10 nodes per second is even too much for me to believe.

It seems that Vasik searches many nodes in what he counts as nodes.
Maybe he is using different function and not using his normal makemove in the
qsearch but it is clear that he searches a lot of legal moves inside of what he
considers as evaluation so I cannot consider it as evaluation.

I think that static analysis can consider trapped pieces so you can consider
some moves without making them to check for trapped pieces but what I see in
rybka is clearly too much for what I consider as static analysis.

I think that recursive search of moves with more than one move per side cannot
be considered as part of the evaluation.
