CTal is NOT optimized for AMD.
Chris has IMO
NO (NADA) / NONE

AMD -CPU in his company, when i remember it right

championship.

amdk6-2 has twice the cache of the intel pentium 1 cpu.
although pentium1 mmx has twice the cache the pentium 1 without mmx has.
Still k6-2 has bigger cache !
therefore k6-2 is faster than pentium1 mmx.
and pentium2 has only 32KB internal + 512 external (half speed).
but k6-3 has 256 INTERNAL ! + 1MB pipeline-burst as external !!

the engine size and evaluation part of cstal is bigger than that
of mchess and that of the king.
i know you don't like this, but its true.
benchmarks show this.
