Hi Swami,
Are you sure that these three engines work as a MP engine :!: :?:

1.Amy 0.8.7b has cpu=1 in it's config file,but even if you set it to 2,it won't use the two processors....
2.DanChess is the same case....
3.Hamsters 0.6 is not a MP chess engine,have you looked into the UCI config window,cause I did and I thought that I've missed something,but no....it's not a MP playing chess engine....
Hi Wael,

Hamsters 0.7 Extreme is an mp version available for download in Alessandro's webpage.

As for Danchess and Amy, you are right that they use single core. But I had set it to 2, maybe a bug or something.

Of course I was trying to help with my post and I wanted to be sure that I wasn't missing something....

Ofcourse you're Welcome! 8-) It seems Hamsters is profitting very little from the MP capability, maybe that's why it wasn't released as an official release, just a beta or something.

25 rounds to go!

I predict Glaurung and Naum will join to the top 8.
In that case, I will not claim the last place. :)

Excellent work, swam.

It seems that Trail Blazer is a real blizer....
