They have a reason and the reason is that they know that it is better even when you use only one processor. I did not buy Fritz7 but I have a friend who bought DF7 because it is better than F7 and he has not more than one processor. I bought DF6 and not F6 for the same reason.

Yes This is the reason that I did not purchase Deep Junior7 and this is the reason that the ssdf did not test Deep Junior 7. That >alone tells me that it was designed with dual processors in mind.

Now that Fritz 8 is >released there is no reason why someone with a single cpu system should pay 99$ >for deep fritz 7 when they can buy fritz 8 for half the cost. I agree that now there is no reason to buy DF7 and not Fritz8. The reason was in the past. Uri
