Hi Michael,

Frank Quisinsky definitely talks about the previous version of Ruffian, the one
prior to the Ruffian 10-10 version (Leiden) (his term is "vorherige Version").
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.
