Hi Frank,

that would also not proof anything -> then you can just say it had won that
tourney... to be strongest is nothing objective. From what view ? I can give you
several positions where e.g. Quark would have better results then Ruffian - so I
can say that Quark is better in THOSE positions - which is objectively right and
proofable for everybody.
So it would be definitely better to advertise Ruffian as one of the strongest
winboard engines in the world, winning Dutch Open 2003 ahead X,Y & Z, winning
CCT5 ahead A, B & C etc. etc., being highest rated winboard engine at current
SSDF list... That ALL would be correct.

What do you think would Ossi Weiner have done with ChessBase if they would have
ever claimed Fritz as the strongest engine in the world ? And vice versa ?

Greets, Thomas
