I do not say that Fritz's code is included in Ruffian but
I do not see a way to be sure that Fritz's code is not included.

It is possible that the programmer of ruffian got the source code of Fritz by
some way(it does not mean that he stole it and maybe he got it for helping the
programmer of Fritz with new ideas).

There are a lot of other theories but it is better if I think more about movei
and not about Ruffian(I have some problems about reading the winboard command
that I discuss in the winboard forum
see http://www.f11.parsimony.net/forum16635/messages/35222.htm).
