I was wondering if Chess.app is multithreaded, and how much processor % it takes up when playing against itself (on its hardest setting) for any of you dual 2.0 G5 owners.
1) I don't believe gnuchess (the engine) is threaded. That's not to say it isn't, just that I don't think it is.
2) likely 100%. Of course, being preemptive multitaskable, you would still have a very usable system with OSX. You could also renice chess so it only uses 'spare' CPU cycles.
