Hi, read also the file "About Arena". We have a long time (start of this webpages) 4 partner programs. For every partner engine a red letter. (A)nmon D(r)agon N(e)jmet (S)OS You can read the red letters (= AreS) and you have the theme from our Arena logo. Now we have a new partner program (Ruffian) and I have not a red letter for Ruffian :-) So I wrote AreS in Ruffian logo ... Perola have also a wunderful logo, available in our logo collection! I think a nice idea for make later a little bit publicity with our wonderful partner engines for people which find also the way to computer chess in the future. Maybe not the best English in the message in our News Ticker. If you have interest to make a correction please write me a short mail. I am very happy if people write me if my English is not good enough. I have a permission to added Ruffian in Arena Setup file if the engine ready for take off. Look UCI / WB Dragon 4.3 ... Also a partner program and today available on the webpage by Leo Dijksman. The same for Ruffian. If Leo have the realeased version from Perola Valfridsson he added the engine on his webpage. Not to do with Arena ... we added the engine as soon as possible in our setup files. See my other messages ... Thanks for your interest on Arena News Ticker! Best Frank
