That is why they stay away: >FEAR Deep Fritz appereantly doesn't get any kind of significant speedup on dual hardware, so that's not much of an argument. I don't think the Tigers would need a dual to be competitive, speed disadvantage or not. They haven't in the past and I dont see why it should be the case now. Of course, they could just join with the SMP version of Rebel or Tiger. After all, it was already in development since way before the last WMCCC, or at least, that is what they claimed. Surely a programmer as good as Christophe would have had it working by now :) -- GCP
