You are correct there is no such emulator, simply Smartink is capapable of
running under any Chessbase GUI.

Yes I am aware of that, Ruffian could be weaker under Fritz8 GUI, as my test
already point to that direction.

I also run several matches against Pepito and Ruffian, but it is definitively
weaker under Arena or winboard, based on my test against these two programs. And
I don'tthink that the Opening could make such a big difference, which is clearly
more than 100 points. There is no opening Book available that could increase any
engine more than 60 Rating points.
