Some points about this: 1) It is doubtful if Shredder is really 100 points stronger than F6a. 2) If two engines compute in parallel, they will only run at 1/2 the speed of a single engine (on a dual system, this also holds if the single engine is capable of using both CPUs). This will make both of them weaker by about 30 points. 3) It is highly important by which criteria the TripleBrain module selects the final move. Suppose you have engines A and B at 2600 points. By 2), they will effectively run at 2570 points. Now how effective does 3) have to be to yield this 30 ELO deficit, let alone improve the overall performance beyond 2600? This is not so clear, so no reason to get too excited in advance. :) --- Shep
