I see _no_ reason why a parallel searcher would be weaker if the parallel search is disabled. In the case of Crafty, running the SMP version on a single cpu will show that the SMP version is something like .1% slower than the non-SMP version. I don't think you can measure that small a difference in speed. If the new engine has more chess knowledge, or better chess knowledge, or fewer bugs, then yes, it could _easily_ be significantly stronger even if not using more than one CPU.
