The guys using 12 cores have two physical CPUs, 6 cores each, and it has no problem with that.

Hi Stefan,

pretty sure I've got the Ippo lot well covered already without adding these into my testing.

However, if they both use 8CPU, then I'll add them to the list just to be comprehensive.

Graham.
LEOpard is from 2011. But PanChess 00.400 is new and in development. Could be interesting (both are Ippolit-derivates) and it is stronger than Bouquet 1.6.
And there is a new beta of Bouquet 1.7 out now:

Thanks Stefan. I did see that, but I'll download it now.

Rondo can but I think the engine is still private.

Although I have not tried to run Amy on 8 cores, I took a look at the code, and there didn't seem to be any checks for an upper limit on the number of cores. I am actually curious to see if it will work on 8 cores.

I'll certainly take a look at it. 8-)
