I thought so too.  Deep Fritz SMP code is broken somewhere.  That's why I
laughed when I heard it was going to be on an 8-way box.  It would have run like
crap.  Unless Frans fixed it.

DJ7 is my best option.  It is also my favorite engine.  It is what I have used
on ICC since I got it (junior), which was about 2-3 months ago.

As far as an edge, of course I have a slight one.  One that's worth 60 ELO or
so.  Not very much considering......

But getting almost a 3300 rating on ICC in blitz, with Junior of all engines, is
pretty amazing.
