A couple of question

[playjunior]

Hello everyone,
This is my first post in your forums. I have been a reader for some time though.
As a true newcomer I will ask many questions at once.
1. What is the best free engine for a dual-core system? (For example, I saw Spike ... MP in one of the lists but couldn't find it. Also is Toga 1.3x4 running on multiple cores?)
2. What is the best free tactical engine for a dual-core system?
3. What was the forum's conslusion about Strelka? I read that thread to the end and am not sure that I understood completely everything. Is it a Rybka clone or not?
Thanks everyone!

1. Glaurung 2-epsilon/4, although Rybka 1.0 beta and Toga are stronger despite being unable to use both cores. SpikeMP is private and the next public version will most likely be commercial.

2. Maybe Glaurung 1.2.1.

3. Strelka is not a clone.

Toga and a Glaurung Epsilon 4 running on two cores are almost at the same level. CGET 40/20 lists Glaurung higher in its rating list, for some reason I cant access the CCRL site.

Thank you!
I will try them all and see which one suits me best.
Until there is some money for a Rybka
