On a multiple CPU machine, crafty is probably the fastest chess program on
Linux.  In fact, Dr. Hyatt's multiple CPU machine is running Linux (IIRC) and it
seems to be a world-beater as far as ratings goes.

Since it is already multi-cpu aware, it can harness horsepower that other
programs can't.  Can you imagine Crafty on a Cray/Silcon Graphics T3E fully
configured?  It might possibly be the second strongest chess engine on the
planet, after Deep Blue.
