Shredder also can use more than one processor and I do not know if Crafty can beat Ruffian2.00 even if both are using the best machine that they can use. How much speed improvement can crafty get from parallel search relative to the fastest single processor? I think that for users the main question is how much speed improvement can Crafty get in their system from parallel search and the answer for most of them is that Ruffian2.00 is simply better because most of the users of more than 1 processor do not use more than 2 processors.
