OS X does not support CPU affinity for individual processes. AFAIK, the kernel handles the distribution of processes amongst a CPU's cores. There is no way that I know of to force a process to run on a specific CPU core.
Just to stress the computer, see what it can do, that's all. I was told by someone that it's recommended.
Ask it to play global thermal nuclear warfare. It will unlock all 1024 cores.
Couldn't you do that dev > null terminal command 8 times to max out the CPU?
The problem: I can only start one. How do you start multiple games?
You need to duplicate (Cmd-D) Chess.app.
Doesn't work. Press cmd+D in the app?
Go to the Applications folder, select Chess.app and then press CMD+D, as CMD+D is a Finder keyboard shortcut for "duplicating" files and folders.
Also know, that you can use an avatar now.
Dually noted and yay! Thanks.
Edit: worked. Fan is blowing like crazy with ridiculous lag and getting increasingly hot. Damn...

Fans are blasting!

Actually Command + N will open new windows of the chess game without all the work to copy the app over and over again.

renice changes process priority. It has nothing to do with CPU affinity.
