Well, I simply copied the message and ripped some things of.

No, I donät know him personally, but I chat with him alot on ICQ. Since I'm a
chess programmer myself, I've asked him some questions about chess programming,

I also asked him why Ruffian playes such a good chess and accoring to him, it
all depends on his extensions and forward pruning techniques.
