Hi there, Our freeware Arena 1.0 is next week Thuesday / Wednesday available. New options: - Engine Blunder Check - Opening book options - Swiss system - And all the time Martin work on bugfixes In combination with Arena 1.0 is Ruffian 2.0 by Per-Ola Valfridsson available as commercial product around 08th December 2003. Distribution by "Schach Niggemann", Germany! http://www.niggemann.com Information page: http://www.playwitharena.com/directory/ruffian2.htm Arena by Martin Blume: http://www.playwitharena.com Gladiators can try the strongest free available WinBoard / UCI Engine Ruffian (included in the Freeware Arena Setup versions). I believe (in my opinion) Ruffian 2.0 is around 100 ELO stronger as the Freeware version 1.01 or ~ 75 ELO stronger as the Freeware version 1.05 with longer time controls. With shorter time controls I believe 75 ELO stronger (or a little bit more) as the Freeware version 1.01 and ~ 50 ELO stronger (or a little bit more) as the Freeware version 1.05. SSDF will test the new version soon and I am sure Gladiators too. Available is a Linux version too (the world strongest Linux Chess Engine) and different very good opening books. Available on this CD-ROM is the Leiden version of Ruffian (Ruffian won the tournament in Leiden 2003) too. Possible that a third Ruffian engine is avialalbe on the CD-Rom. Produced by Frank Quisinsky! Best Frank
