It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings.

Diep is ONE point behind the leader Shredder with several rounds to go.  You
imagine that is doing poorly?

Be that as it may, there have been chess programs entered in the WCCC with
dozens or hundreds of CPU's in the past.  These programs have never fared very
well.

With that many CPU's SMP is not possible (with today's technology) and therefore
another method must be used to communicate.
