And before the line was set by the playing strength showed by Yace/Crafty. Now it is Ruffian... So your whole flood of negative arguments towards Ruffian (including mentioning virus and distrust of the author since he doesn't post on forums) seems to spring from very subjective thoughts, feelings and plans of your own... IMO, this is not the way to create respect for yourself as a person nor as a chess programmer. /s
