It was "brutus". It seemed to be doing about 1 ply deeper sometimes, about the same others. They claim it searches about 2.8M nodes per second in the hardware, so about 3M overall is the max, which is not a lot faster than my dual. The only thing is it uses a "Kure" book so it generally starts in a favorable position as I normally run on ICC with my "wide" book to provide variety. I would not play the same openings in (say) cct6 should I play them. :) But then again, I wouldn't play the openings I played against it against any reasonable opponent, so there you go. ;)
