Go up one level in this thread


well, learning some new things. I always thought nps was number of legal
positions seen per second by the chess engine.
Because one engine uses more chess knowledge than others it mainly weeds out
unpromising positions on forehand and that reduces its node speed, so I thought.
In other words it has to do more evaluation work while looking at individual
positions than an other 'faster' engine.

Well, the experts are around here, so wait for the right answer(s).
