But since years I public no results (I think I make here in the past enough, 18 months running CCE tourney with daily updates´for an example). Older Ruffian versions are also strong but little time managment problems (in my opinion not the WB Ruffian engine). If users make now a test against commercial engines Ruffian performance is a litte bit slower. Tiger, Hiarcs, King, Junior maybe Rebel are playing in the same group as Ruffian but I believe Ruffian is a tick stronger. Best Frank
