You can use the slider to decide how much processor time the CPU uses to render the
3D images. If the graphics module is given a large amount of time there will be less
resources remaining for the chess engine, which leads to a weakening of the playing
strength. If you want the chess engine to play strong chess in 3D graphics mode you
should choose a low value for the rendering.
If you enable the display of the picture’s refresh you will see as a permanent display in
the top left corner how often the graphics are redrawn.
If you are using a multiprocessor system the 3d graphics will be handled by one of the
CPUs. The chess engine will then be able to use 100% of the resources of the other
CPUs.
It can take a long time for the Chess Turk to be displayed, depending on the
computer’s hardware configuration. This time can be speeded up by selecting a simpler
3D display before ending the program. This setting is then stored. The next time the
chess Turk is selected it will take less time to load him.
