And it is not a reason to attack Johan.
It is his right.

It does not prove that chessmaster is weak.

Johan did not say it but I said it.

It is possible that at that time Johan will also have a parallel king.
It does not contradict the excuse that I gave.

It is not the only possible excuse and another excuse is that the king simply
does not need more than 1 cpu beccaquse the king with 1 cpu is better than other
programs with more cpu's.

another reason is that customers with 2 cpu's may use them for engine-engine
games when every engine get 1 cpu.

so the question which program is better with one cpu may be still relevant for
them.

And chessmaster with 1 cpu is first in the last tournament and not one of them.

I said that most customers are not interested in more than one cpu.
I did not know that my name is Johan.
