so well, then I chose the machin Anthony did use... see ! Nothing is changed,
because Fruit so far just can use the single... so is Anthony to blaim because
he made his program MP ?

Just a comparison for those which support the same hardware idea: now what to do
if one of those programs does not support opening book ? Must now everyone
disable opening books ? Or how about pondering, tablebases etc. ?

Of course it will be interesting to see them fighting against each other with
single machines, but this was a world championship, everyone should bring the
best he can. The 2 x 2 *2.2 Ghz wouldn't have helped Fruit, in fact it would
have been even a bit slower on it, because each single processor has only 2.2
GHz.

Anyway, Fruits performance was of course outstanding. Beaten several of those
hardware monsters and end up as clear 2nd. But don't lower the achievements of
Anthony, Zappa is without any doubt the deserved champ of that tournament.

Greets, Thomas
