Go up one level in this thread


Are you matching SmarThink with Fritz8-Book against Ruffian with Ruffian book?
That would be unfair.

I bet 10 Posts (Jorge Pichard is a hero) if SmarThink will win a match against
Ruffian 1.01 of 50 games, if both engines are using the same book and the same
hash-amount.
