It is clear that more processors is an advantage relative to one processor when
you use the same program(unless there are serious bugs in the program).

The best result of computers in tournament except Deeper blue's win against
kasparov(Deep Junior's 50% against 9 super GM's) was achieved with 8 processors.

Deeper blue also used a lot of processors to win kasparov.
