I don't think you understand what i'am doing..i have more then 100 chess engines..every week you have new releases..i have to choose one
that can use all cores and is freeware!!
If you take Rybka we can go to 2048cores..but is no freeware.
Cyclone is for me now the perfect engine to use..before it was TogaII..i can't change every week!
If this engine is bad and has very bad scaling (bud is not) ..it don't matters because all systems use the same engine,and your result will be compared
with other systems with same settings from the chess program! Very simple!
Robbolito is clearly stonger..but it's only a one core version (for the moment) . So can't test cpu at 100% and the strenght of the engine is useless in this test!
You are thinking as a chess player..here the people using it as a Bench Tool !!
Nobody have problem with it,everybody can use and run my test..so looking great to me!
And if you look how many results i get..i think people like this test also!
Ofcourse this is for fun..everybody has his hobby..you like it or don't like it..you run it or not..very simple..but don't try to find a problem!
People on this forum run all kind off benchmarks..they are very kind and support what people want to do,just a simple test..but it gives me
all the information i want to see,and it gives me a very nice list with all kind of hardware/cpu's!
If you want to talk about chess..then i would go to chess forums where i put my test results from all engines that i'am testing!
