I like to see that you speak with your words in a discuss with myself. I am sure that you have friends, like Johan de Koning or Ed Schröder but for the moment you discuss with myself and it seems that you must learn not a little bit ... you must learn a lot of! I don't know the tournament results of Leo Dijksman! After my test games Ruffian 2.0.0 scored over 60% vs. your engine. I know that your engine is very strong and I like your engine and your development ... see Arena News Ticker ... but in fact Ruffian 2.0.0 is very very strong. I don't say that Ruffian is the strongest program in the World ... Shredder is for me a fantastic strong program ... but I say that Ruffian is the strongest WinBoard engines in the World "TODAY" is. I am sure that the other programmers make a great work too and I don't know how strong are the latest not available versions of TheKing, Rebel or Sjeng. With "Today" I meaning available engines and we can start a tournament every time with the WB engines which are available and which you like and I am absolutly sure that Ruffian 2.0.0 will win. I am speaking from a tournament with minimal 8 engines and minimal 20 games for every eng-eng match! You are ready to start such a tournament on your system ... I am ready to start! Best Frank
