We hope JL will be prepared to throw some opening preparations :).
Perhaps 1 or 2 cores would be enough.

I'm not even sure opening preparations still valid now, we are 875 Elo over what was the top level 6 months ago (Imortal 2.0 : 2625 to Stockfish-20161209-6 cores : 3500 Elo)

I prefer to use 6 cores but play faster : I plan to set the time control to 3min+8sec for SF under Winboard.
Faster games are more entertaining for the spectators.

Note that 875 Elo in Chess engine development represent 13 years, the time between HIARCS 9 (2003) to Stockfish 8 (2016).

Where do you find these numbers?

Looked for rating lise of engines in crazyhouse in google and found the following:

Immortal is clearly better than 2625 when stockfish is clearly worse than 3500.

I used this list : https://sites.google.com/site/zhassocia ... list/blitz
Imortal 2.0 32bit : 2625
Stockfish zh 09Dec2016 64bit : 3221

Stockfish zh 09Dec2016 64bit on 6 cores is around 3500
