</pre>
This tournament confirms that Ruffian is not a head above top WB engines...
at the blitz time control 5'+3".
And Crafty 16.19 (as a new/old star) certainly will be included into my Infinite
Loop.
My next test will be for Rapid time control (15'+3") with the same
participants.
All the games are available by email.
