This is the first I've heard of this.  What was the nature of Vincent's
complaint about Ruffian?  I can only imagine how insulting it must have been for
Per-Ola to have to defend himself against such baseless accusations.

Vincent seems to have a hard time coming to grips with the fact that there are
many chess programmers far more talented than him.

I won't be at all surprised if he's the one who complained about List.
