What Rating List, a  Winboard Rating List, using WB SmarThink with a weak
Opening book, and not the version that works under CB using either Deep Fritz or
Fritz8.ctg ?

How much would you like to bet? I will also match SmarThink against these two
programs Junior 7 and Hiarcs 8 after I reach 40 games against Ruffian 1.0.1
which lost to more games since I posted.

11 Junior 7.0  256MB  Athlon 1200 MHz      2687   28   -28   633   57%  2638  12
Hiarcs 8.0  256MB Athlon 1200 MHz       2682   25   -25   784   55%  2643
