Similar programs are: Sachy Gromit Beowulf/Horizon Bestia Knightx Lordking Only Gromit is strong enough that the idea is possible, that some code was stolen from it. I don't believe so. The biggest similarities to Ruffian I could reproduce with Crafty 18.15 (In games aginst each other, the eval is about 99% identical on my computer). But it as unlikely, that Ruffian is a Crafty clone as it is unlikely to be a Fritz clone. Have more trust in the program skills of the author. Axel
