Mr. Whittington asks for reporting "Mem" there on Talkchess but it was not picked up. Rebel EAS and CSTal 2.0 ask for a lot of memory I think. If I start either one in Shredder GUI it takes a while to load the program, saying sometimes that Shredder does not respond if I am low on memory already, but I only have 8 GB memory. In Shredder you have to edit the .ENG file to set more than 1 thread, you already have two it seems. Or was two the limit? Right now I just use the program with one thread.

Thanks, Eelco, I tried inputting the initialization string setoption name RelaxThreadLimit value true into the special field in Arena, but it's still using 2 cores even if I set it to 4.
