Yes, Peter.  I had to go to bed last night and didn't give you more info on that
particularly sad incident with Ruffian in Leiden.  Anyway, after Vincent's
accusations Per-Ola had to prove that his code was genuinely  his own and
original, which he did:  by talking to Theo van der Storm (a chess programmer
and director of the Leiden tourney) and by supplying detilas regarding Ruffian
and explaining the Ruffian structure etc.  He even sent some snippets of code
via email to be examined.

And, yes.  You were right:  Per-Ola felt very sad and a little hurt throughout
this disgusting incident.  Thanks to Vincent's little intervention.
