As i was shocked about the result of the 5 game match between the Res-Fruit05 and the Res-Ruffian, so too will Collectors Worldwide be surprised by this result now i realize of course that 5 games is nothing to take very seriously ,but still,i expected a score of 5-0 or at worst 3.5-1.5 in favor of Res-Fruit 05 i am calling for all Resurrection owners to attempt to play each other in matches to determine the true strength of ALL of the engines in the Resurrection modules perhaps Res-Toga I is stronger then Res-Deep Sjeng? or ..Res-Ruffian is not as good as this small match indicated there are 23 owners of the Resurrection in addition to myself several of which received their modules sets in return for testing and it was a brilliant job of testing and re-testing that these particular owners did i have played now over 30 match games with the Resurrection against a wide variety of dedicated computers not one time did i encounter a problem with the operation of the modules no time management issues,no pawn promotion issues..nothing however since the Res has not had a new release for some time and the inventor of the modules will not be incorporating the new Tasc display module for quite some time..i think these testers should now focus on playing matches against each other they live in close proximity to each other in the Netherlands the boyz over at .info do a great job of testing the dedicated computers but they test only against the old computers they have not Res modules they need our help the Res-Ruffian in obtaining its 2383 Elo Rating and its 2400 Action rating played against an assortment of dedicated units at their disposal but no games were played against other Res-Engines this is not a good state of affairs this is like always dusting off Boris Spassky out of retirement to play a new rising chess star to give him Elo points it makes little sense to release the Resurrection with so many engines if no real attempt is made to determine which one is the strongest all Resurrection owners should try to play each other(either via the internet) or face to face (for those that live near each other) and send in their results to www.schachcomputer.info for tabulation and incorporation into the lists i write this message here because i know many collectors read these pages Respectfully Submitted The 6th Day Of November in the Year Of Our Lord 2005 Steve
