How to make a quad version of your chessprogram in minutes:

1) create 3 dummy threats at program start
2) make dummythreats calculate primes
3) Do nodecount*3

Wich would result in:
4) Play Kramnik and make an 8 processor version.


To make sure people don't start asking difficult questions: Say it's a special
version not available commercially (You don't want to get a bad name) and make
sure that it ALWAYS starts (3+no_of_cpus-requested_cpus) dummy threats. That way
people can convince themselves that your chessprogram does play stronger with
more cpu's and less strong with less threats on a quad.
