Well i think in any case this program is a Windows divides the processor time between several task, by changing the priority the engine is given more or less CPU time. This only has an effect if you are also doing other things on you PC, otherwise all the processor time is spend by the engine anyway. The effect on playing strength is minimal, the differenct in speed (NPS) is no more then a few percent. So my suggestions are; If you want to do other things while tiger is analysing, use low priority, for normal play use normal and only when you are doing specific tests at short time controls use high priority. You may notice using high priority may make your system a bit unresponsive. Lex >whole new entity. Christophe Theron has created a monster.
