But until now there were >no commercial programs that can use several processors. Deep Junior can use several processors for a long time. Crafty can also do it and another program(Diep) can also do it. I mean are there >engine-engine matches that really proofs that Deep Fritz with two processors is >better than Fritz 6? Or are the several processors commercial program a >disappointment? Or is it too early to say? I think that Deep Fritz has good results with one processor(it is leading enrique's tournament). It is clear that Deep fritz with more than one processor is better(I assume that Deep Fritz have not a serious bug in using more than one processor but I may be wrong). Uri
