I must learn from your person? A person which wrote on his webpage on the same day as we public the information on Gambit-Soft News Ticker that Gandalf 4.32h (WinBoard Edition II) is available that Gandalf 5 is available by Lokasoft? You are sure what you wrote here Ed? Sorry, but I am honest and don't like it to see such information! And I will not learn from such things! On the other hand I like you person and all what I do in the past for computer chess, like the Lokasoft products but it seems that you have interest to make problems against my new and own company if I understand your text right. I have no other information and I saw not other information which I gave in the handbook. Its for me not easy to write here in English against a group of persons which work for the same company. I am sure I make mistakes with my English if I write more in English. The best way is to write me a mail Ed if you have interest to discuss with me. You understand German and in this case it's more easy for me. >>I don't know the tournament results of Leo Dijksman! >>After my test games Ruffian 2.0.0 scored over 60% vs. your engine.
