Thanks to Perola Valfridsson for this free very strong program.

Why this engine is difficult to beat, this time against the world champion. A
test of 6 games on:
AMD Athlon xp 1600+
256 MB RAM
GUI: Fritz 7
Junior 7 with j7book book
Ruffian with deepfritz7 book (using wb2uci adapter of Odd Gunnar Malin)
both with 32 mb hash
game in 25 minutes

Sept 24, Blitz:25'  0

                         123456
1   Ruffian 1.0.0  2550  1111½1  5.5/6
2   Junior 7       2680  0000½0  0.5/6

Here is one weakness of Junior exposed:
Junior has problem giving white a big score in this position.

Ruffian 1.0.0 - Junior 7
[d]8/p1r5/2N1ppk1/PP1n2pp/1P1R4/6PP/3K1P2/8 w - - 0 38
Solution: 38. Nxa7, or even 38. Rxd5.
Ruffian in actual game played 38. Nxa7. I have not fully looked at every game,
there might be bugs in the results :)

Regards,
Dinan
