When we play with one processor and ponder the engines have 50% processor time
for ~ 20-40% ponder hits. I think a game on one PC without ponder is better.

We play tournaments with not many programs and all programs play against all
other programs 12 games. I think this is better !

I will play later a tournament with other engines and longer time controls.
Bringer, Gromit, Ant, Arasan, NUTx and other ...
