Arena site: Arena main files and partner engines: - UCI SOS 2 for Arena - UCI AnMon 5.21 - UCI Nejmet 3.06 - UCI Dragon 4.3 - UCI Ruffian x ... not clear so far (maybe a short time after Arena 0.90). Snipover. Personally i can't wait to see the newcomer (Ruffian) in action on my own comp and i am a bit surprised over the lack of optimism on Uri's part, maybe he has the "new engine itch" in his fingers too and can't wait ;) Regards Jonas
