I just ran the program below with Visual C++ 5.0 and Windows 98. It runs for 10
seconds and counts how many times GetTickCount() changes. In 10 seconds, it
changed 2001 times, indicating that it changes every 5 ms. This is fine and
good, but it does not explain how I can get the following analysis, also using
GetTickCount():

position 002
Position: 8/7p/5k2/5p2/p1p2P2/Pr1pPK2/1P1R3P/8 b - - 0 1
Solution(s): Rxb2

 7.       0.073       12050    0.93  c3 bxc3 ...
