Hi Johan,

Ruffian 2.0.0 won by a narrow margin (2 1/2 points).

>What if Shredder 7.04 uses his own book instead of a random generated Arena book ??

Arena Chess GUI have a great and new option!
PGN Random!
You have a PGN database, like the database by Olivier Deville (can be found on
Arena webpage, User file selection) with x GM games. Now you can say in
tournament mode ... play the first x moves by game random!

I config 12 moves!
Arena played now by random of one of the GM games the first 12 moves and the
engines start the game with move 13!

I believe that Shredder have a very good opening book but I am not sure! Ruffian
2.0.0 have a good opening books too (by Prof. Dr. Djordje Vidanovic, available
on the Ruffian 2.0.0 CD-Rom).

>But Ruffian 2.0.0 is really a strong engine indeed.

Yes and stronger with longer time controls.
