I'm also curious how the "positions per second" in Chessmaster 6000 and the "nodes per second" in Hiarcs 7.32 compare. Initially I thought they were the same, just different nomenclature. But now I wonder... I plan to do some comparison tests when I can find the time. For example I want to use a stop watch (not trust the computer displays) to see how long each of them take to calculate the solution to a known test problem, and see how that compares with the "positions per second" and "nodes per second" values. I also want to do the same with a practical playing position to compare how long they take to "Brute Force" (completely) calculate to a certain ply depth. I have some initial impressions, but they could be wrong, so I won't speculate in advance about the results. If anybody has done those kinds of tests, I would be very interested in the results, so please post them! I guess you could fairly say that I am a 100% hardhead, i.e. I don't believe ANYTHING until it is proved for a fact...usually requiring a simple test of some kind. --JRM
