LGG2 is probably the program with the most differing nps counts of all.
I have seen it hit anywhere between 200 K and 1,300 K on the PIII-550.
(No other program I know differs by a factor of more than 3.)
Whenever there are tactical shots in the position, LGG's node count explodes
whereas it remains low in positional situations.
Is there any explanation on why this happens?
