But meaning with today available engines at the moment. I cann't not know engines which are not available! Example: Kaissa is a program which make Ruffian a lot of problems. Ruffian losed every match vs. Kaissa in my tournaments. But Kaissa 1.7 is not stronger as Ruffian if I look in the results vs. other engines. Ruffian - TheKing 2:2 in my Arena tournament 6 ... No reason for me to say Ruffian is the strongest WB engines in the World. But in combination with games against other engines is Ruffian clear stronger as TheKing in this tournament. I have no other results and saw no other results. For me is this reason enough to write this in the handbook. You can be sure, if I have only one other results I have never written that Ruffian 2.0.0 is the strongest WinBoard engines in the world. I am sure I have written is one of the strongest WinBoard engines in the world. See my other message ... first sentence in the handbook and booklet! Best Frank
