Thanks for the e-mail........!

 Hmmmm, in that case i would prefer ponder to be off, as i'm not sure at all
that this doesn't affect engine performance.........Actually i believe that
Ponder=ON at a single CPU, destoys any comparison that can be done about
engine's strength, but with all engines be the "The King.exe" i'm not sure if
this still exists here.........?!?!?!? I guess since all engines were the same,
then the % CPU all were given, was the same so there wasn't any problem......
