In this German fora a person like it to make copys of messages from CCC and the master of this forum will not delete the messages. Also a link to CCC is better, like here the WinBoard Forum or my News Ticker. Germany Live, unfortunately :-(( OK, now the programmers say, like Christophe ... see the message ... that programs must play good chess on weaker hardware :-) OK, what do you think if we play a tourney with the 10 best programs on Pentium 200 MMX ! Is this tourney not interesting ? You can here see that SMP or not SMP is not the questions. A progam with 2 processors in only 20-30 ELO stronger compare to a fast Athlon system. The idea to play with SMP versions is not a good idea, why ? Best Frank
