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. The question for the match against kramnik is the speed up that they get on long time control and not in blitz. I do not know how people got the numbers of speedup for Crafty,Fritz ,Junior and Shredder I think that the way to compare is comparing times and not nodes. You need to take a test suite from positions when the program changes it's mind after some minutes and comparing times. If the numbers are not based on similiar test then my opinion is that they mean nothing. Testing it takes time and you need at least some hours of testing before getting an estimate for the speedup (not in blitz). Uri
