Can you tell me what is the latest version of Smarthink (date of engine).  I
just downloaded the engine from the web site and played 10 games of blitz vs
Ruffian 1.0.1.  Ruffian won by 8.5-1.5.  I see no reason to test further untill
I can be sure I have the latest version of Smarthink.  This one is nowhere near
Ruffian.
