The migraine comes with all new chessprograms, if you get hooked like me and sit
and blitzing until 4 in the morning, and have to go to work at 7, you can be
sure the migraine comes in the afternoon. But don't worry, after losing for a
week you aren't so hooked up any more and manage to go to bed a little bit
earlier.

Litle more serious, I haven't the new fruit but tried ver. 2.1 a few days ago in
Chess Assistant. It had a lot of problem to use all cpu power and was pondering
at ply 5-7 (a round 1knps). My guesses was that it was confused with CA's
twinkling with the threadpriority. The solution I used was to put InBetween
between the gui and engine and force it to threadpriority=low. I do this with
all engines I use for analyses because of this priority bug in CA. (Not all
engines have problem with geting 100% cpu power, but no one works with the
lowering of priority you set in the gui)
