Bye, Fulvio P.S. - If you have an haswell cpu you can extract the stockfish-6-bmi2 file (instead of stockfish-6-64) that would be slightly faster - When adding the engine you would probably want to also click "configure UCI engine" and change the "Threads" to 4: it will be much faster ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
