It is just a different computer science experiment that tries to answer the question of how to write software for a parallel machine. If you look at it from the viewpoint of a chess software "consumer", it is not particularly relevant. Very few "consumers" have a multiple cpu machine. From the viewpoint of computer science the experiment is very relevant and completely valid. It makes all the sense in the world. Parallel computing does not have to justify itself to "consumers". That's missing the point I think. > > >Jouni
