Yes this is right.

In my News Ticker I have 250 Gandalf games with longer time controls and ponder
!

I am sure, I made a lot of tests with Gandalf in the last time. I think for
tactical and middelgame analyses is Gandalf a very good engine. OK, I know not
all commercial programs but I know a lof of results.

BTW:
Crafty played very good against the playing style from Gandalf !

A questions to Crafty:
I see that Crafty 17.13 is not faster then Crafty 17.11 but the new SMP version
is faster.

At the moment is the dual technic factor 1.8. Do you think that factor 1.9 or
1.95 is possible ?

I have interest to get more information why is not more then factor 1.8
possible. I think a very interesting message for my News Ticker because more and
more persons have interest to buy a dual system an I think this is a interesting
question about SMP.

See here (little zip file, Crafty bench results on dual and single PIII):
