That would indeed be considered a noble contribution considering that Hydra isnt available for regular people like me. Rybka 1.0 beta was already available, so the release of Strelka didnt make any difference to my collection from an Engine nerd's point of view.

It's not only a chess server, it's a complete GUI like Arena, Aquarium or Fritz GUI (or Fritz GUI with Aquarium's look.)

Finally downloaded. I don't see any difference except for an improved opening book. The first one was too terrible.

The previous version used to steal CPU from my engine, this one seems fine.

Also, link to useless Hydra "engine":

I guess Hydra exe (that's missing) could run on 1CPU. Maybe it would be extremely weak, but it should run.
