Hi Ed, have you made a testrun of 1 game, (hope it reproduces) under the different settings. Most likely the logfiles will show a different (lower) knode speed. I can make up several excuses for that. - At startup, chessengine and interface are fixed to a different processor, meaning the second chessprogram gets the load of the interface as well (or any other process that the interface initialises). - Engine 2 is initialised on a crappy memory alignment. - Time related rounding errors are every time rounded in 1 the first engines favor. - All communication is handled as engine 1 first then engine 2 ( rather than engine on the move, engine not to move ) so during the whole game, engine 1 gets every information earlier than engine 2 If you feel the need, I'm pretty sure I can come up with some more :) Tony
