[Desperado]

Hello Geert,

i am happy to see Nemo in the tournament _but_ Nemo
is a German-Engine. I am suprised because i do not see for the
first time that it is associated with USA.

Where do you have this information from ?

regards, Michael

[countrychess]

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your reply. I have the info from
http://www.chessmosaic.com/Nemo1.html and from a friend who I always trust .

But no problem: I will replace Nemo by a real American engine and the German competition starts within two weeks, so there will be new chances for Nemo.

Best regards,
geert

Komodo is qualified for the Champions League; Zappa and Arasan enter the third qualifying round. Typhoon demote to the premier division. 

[Jouni]

Impressive result for Komodo against 6 cpu engines! But is Crafty running with 6 cpus - I have seen higher node speed in my old dual?

[countrychess]

Hi Jouni, thanks for your reply. I have changed the mt to 6 in the rc and wb2uci.eng but to be honest I don't see much difference. Do you know how to make sure crafty is multi threading?

Regards,
Geert
