Hi Enrico!

Yes, Deep Junior 9 has the same problem here on my dual :-(

The only thing you can try, is setting the priority of the other engine on
"realtime" so that it gets 50% of the processor. But this trick only works with
WB and UCI engines. And my guess is that H10 Beta is native.

All in all, I do not use DJ9 as sparring partner for Beta-testinggoals. I
reported this bug to Chessbase.

Kind regards,
André
