I understood that tiger can use more than one processor. I guess that Tiger could earn less than Fritz or Junior because of the fact that Christophe and Ed had not enough time to optimize tiger for more than one processor but it still can earn something from more than one processor. I am interesting to know how much tiger earns from more than one processor. If there is a parallel version it is easy to compare both versions at least in test positions and to give an estimate how much is it faster on 2 processors. I guess that for most programs like Junior or Fritz the number is something like 1.7 times faster. Uri
