You notice when I did my post, I only recieved flames from those that live in a
dream world. They would rather believe this is the second coming of Christ in a
chess sense that to _possibly_ believe that this is nothing more than a hoax.

I would bet my ex-wife and a 6 pack of beer that Ruffian is _Not_ a new program.
I will go further to state that I am beginning to believe this is nothing more
than a hoax to promote Arena.

It seems the only people that either have the program Ruffian, or are posting
results are somehow attached to that project. Although you never know I could be
wrong ;)
