My apologies for posting here - but with asmfish getting getting nearly 1000 downloads in 48 hours, I figure there would be interest in this.
As an a side, the separate forum for matches was actually started when I was a moderator and the sole reason it was started was because most of the posts were very, very long with lots of games in pgn format. I promise no games or results will be posted here except for a few lines when the final result is in - good or bad.
Engine 1: dev-SF-McBrain-v5.0
Engine 2: latest asmFish - which runs about 20% faster than SF and SF-McB

Why two cores, there is no question that asmFish would win most single core matches vs McBrain, but this version of McBrain has a little patch written by Günther Demetz that does amazing well in SF-McBrain. The patch occasionally sends the second core off on a special assignment under certain conditions.
How well with two cores?
