I'll take that bet, so long as it is a _real_ parallel search using shared
memory.

Note that we are talking about a real chess program.  Not some junk thing that
just searches the same stuff everywhere...

IE something comparable to Fritz.

No I don't, because we are talking about _fritz_ here.  A _real_ parallel search
engine.  Nobody in their right mind would do that unless forced to do so due to
some oddball constraint having nothing to do with chess.
