Jeroen told me this time they would not join most likely. So i assume they will join now as no commercial programmer with a good program wants to miss this opportunity of course to play a FIDE world champ :) SMP search is a cheap way to get your program faster. For an investment of time you get a decent speedup. If you invest really a lot of time like me, you get an even bigger speedup!
