John,
>Still, CM9000 seems to be the tactical engine to beat,

The King always has been THE engine to beat when it comes to tactics!  These
type of positions play to its strengths i.e. King attacks.  I've studied CM for
ages (usually using positions from BBC) and Johann is definitely dong
something(s) that nobody else is doing - I think I'm getting close to
discovering what it is but I'm not there yet.

>even though Ruffian is VERY impressive!

It certainly is!  It's a fast searcher and reasonably good positionally - surely
Ruffian 2.0 should be commercial!

>Fun test!

Thanks,

Regards,

Steve
