I should not be *that* impressed. But I should *still* be impressed. Ok. I realize now I have to be extremely careful here. But then I see you write Ruffian plays at a P2-300 at FICS, while in the previous mail you said it does NOT play on the reported p2-300, but on faster hardware. Is this a test? Best regards, Bas.
