Hello Uli,

yes Gandalf doesn`t support 2nd processor.

I would be say that Gandalf found in test positions a lot of complicated
positions in 5-20 minutes on a single CPU. Now I think Gandalf is on a Pentium 1
GHz dual system with tournament time a little monster.

It is a nice idea for Steen and the next big tourney to make his program
compatible for more processors.

Frank
