Subject: Question for Commercial Chess Programmers

Author: Bela Andrew Evans

Does anyone know if the commercial chess programmers will eventually release
multi-processor versions of their programs?  I suppose the Fritz people have
already begun working on this, as was reported in the Fritz-Anand mini-match,
but how about Rebel, Hiarcs, etc.?

With the PII, Xeon, AMD's upcoming K7, and Windows NT all supporting
multi-processors, this would seem to be the next big opportunity to radically
increase the strength of chess programs.  If Bob could do it with Crafty, I hope
the commercial programmers won't be far behind.
