Dear Uri,

yes, Crafty made big jumpings too!
The most games are playing Crafty 19.04 in my tournament 6!

But it's fantastic that Kaissa won vs. Ruffian 2.0.0 three games!!
Also older Ruffian versions have big problems vs. Kaissa!

Vladimir made a good work :-)

I played games under ChessBase GUIs but I don't see any ChessBase problem which
scored sooo strong vs. Ruffian 2.0.0 !!

Now Crafty is maybe with Ruffian 1.05 on the same level and the strongest free
program but ... SOS.4 for Arena comes in the next weeks too, ELChinito also ...
maybe Aristarch is in a newer version available in the next times.

Bob must hard work ... no no Bobs engine is a big event for all amateur chess
programmers because the most of the programmers try to beat Crafty. More or less
is Bob to right the idol of the public!

Best
Frank
