Must be the Nehalem. I didn't think Safari was so fast :P.

That's pretty impressive. What does Chrome get on your hardware, I want to see if it's just the hardware or Safari has super powers.

I've updated it so it's a bit stronger (no more consecutive null-moves). Also, it now records a PGN for you, if you want to save it for posterity :).

Can you make it winboard or uci compatible so we can have more fun with it.

I'm afraid that would be a bit tricky. You would need a native javascript execution environment, which sort of defeats the purpose of a web app. I could make it output the UCI commands as text, and you could paste them into the GUI, but that's not so great :).

I lost the source to 2.20 in a hard drive crash, so not that version. I have a complete rewrite which is stronger, but I don't see much point in releasing it.

Sadly, Chrome under Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) seems slower:

I could only find Chrome 5 beta for Linux, but maybe the stable version will beat Safari when in comes out...... Opera is MUCH slower under Linux and Firefox is about comparable.
