That particular engine came out in June (June 26) and he's had a lot of time to play games at longer time controls. Besides, Frank owns a dual Pentium III and a P4 notebook computer. He may well have played lots and lots of games at 40/40... Which he did, as I happen to know it. I also believe that he posted the results of the June version of Ruffian on the Arena pages (please refer to http://www.playwitharena.com/directory/elo.htm). Most of the longer time control games were played at 40/40. Rgds. Djordje
