Months ago, I was fortuante to be provided a copy personally (via e-mail) by Per-Ola Valfridsson. Many people asked me for a copy, but I was never provided authorization to provide a copy. ( I was not told one way or the other.) Once I seen that it was available in the ASA room of Arena , I saw no harm in releasing that information. The above match is being played on dual processor 1.7 Ghz Xeon P4 with each program dedicated to one CPU. Pondering is ON, unified hash @ 128MB, using a a unified book remis.ctg (I think - I will have to double check - it's definately a unifiied book). Ruffian 1.0.5 appears to use the clock much more effectively under my tournament control of 40/120 20/60 20/60 than Ruffian 1.0.1. The most amazing thing about Ruffian is that the first release to general public (that I am aware of) was so strong. Per-Ola Valfridsson must be a very talented programmer. Ruffian is very nice free gift to computer chess enthusiasts.
