  This is a question I've been thinking of too. The results for my program are:

2-87
3-684
4-3900
5-17722
6-82497
7-511602

  As you can see, me search tree explodes! I use HT, killer heuristic, PVS, AS
with a +-25 window, and I've experimented a lot with my move ordering. What else
should I do to improve my nodes per ply? I know I'm missing: using HT for move
ordering, null move, history heuristic...
  And I'm limiting the qsearch to avoid it takes too many nodes, that I think
nobody does.
  What do you think I'm doing wrong?

  Thanks in advance,

  José C.
