6 players simultaneously, but according to the website:

Note: Chinook on the web is not the tournament program. The web version uses a 1994 computer (one
processor) and our 1990 opening book. It only uses the 6 piece databases, has some search enhancements
disabled, and conducts much more shallow searches than the tournament version.

So you're sort of playing "Chinook--" (or, more correctly, "--Chinook").
