I thought that it used at least 4 processors and that it was also significantly better than the opponents with one processor(at least if we talk about Glaurung) but I know nothing about the event. Can you explain what happened? Did shredder play significantly weaker than the public version or maybe it was a swiss luck of Glaurung and Shredder played significantly stronger opponents? Can you give us a table of the results or a link to table of the result. I am not interested in games without normal castling rights(there is enough normal chess games) but I am interested in the results. Uri
