While I am sure Vincent will do well on 500 processors, but I don't think he is a lock to win because of speed. Shredder proved in the past a single processor system can beat the multi-processor systems. I see it all the time online. I use a single processor system online and I like longer time controls, usually greater than 90 mins per side and I win a great number of the games. I didn't pick your program to place higher than Brutus because of processors. I picked it due to the strength in longer games. I feel it is one of the best at tournament time controls. Peter.
