A program must play the moves which are important for a king attack. Ruffian make this. Not important are fantasy positions with a clear move. So I am not a fan from test suits. In my opinion is the best test suite the LCTII test. But look what Ruffian here make. Gandalf is over 120 ELO better compare to Ruffian :-) An interview with Ruffian programmer Perola Valfridsson is in next days available on Arena webpage (Ruffian is a partner program from Arena). It's one of the questions from our interview team. Best Frank
