So I am >thinking it is nothing more than a dual processor machine/program. My experience with Interchess is very similar to yours. I got intrigued by its high rating and tried to chat with the operator. He was ignorant about computer chess in general and said that a friend had written the engine. I am sure that the guy switches engines all the time, and that he runs a multithreading commercial... There is an engine by the same name though; I think you can download it somewhere on the Net, try Google search. It is pathetic though... -- Djordje
