Mogens,

thanks for confirming my suspicion.  Actually, as I can see, Mr. Hedlund did not
care to reply to my carefully phrased question.  Ruffian is being tested in an
unfair manner.  Partly due to Perola Valfridsson's benign attitude to the SSDF
testing methods, which is his own fault, partly due to UCI engines' not sending
the results back to the engine.  UCI is hopeless there...

I only wished to point out this fact that may open the eyes of the CCC members
who were not aware of the technicalities of this match.   Fritz 8 keeps on
learning and finetuning its book, while Ruffian never gets back the previous
results...  The final score should not be taken very seriously, IMHO.

Rgds,

Djordje
