In fact Ruffian won the Dutch-open 2003 for each others available commercial Winboard compatible chess programs (Rebel, TheKing, Sjeng). Of course, only one tournament and all know that we need more games but at the moment I have no other information and this is reason enough to add this text on the handbook. I see so far no problems with the text on my handbook and I look forward to the first results from customers of Ruffian 2.0.0 in tournaments with a lot of games vs. other WinBoard engines! For minutes I saw the results by Leo Dijksman, Ruffian is here on place one too (his actual tournament). Great ... it seems that Deep Sjeng is in the near of Ruffian 2.0.0 ... see my Arena tournament 6 and the results by Leo. It's possible that Ruffian will get problems vs. Patriot ... my second commercial project. We will see :-) I don't like the word "arrogant". We have a good example with Amir Ban! Amir say before the WM (believe in Jarkata) started that he will hold the cup in his end after the tournament (with my words after my information, maybe I have a wrong information). Wow, and after the tournament he hold the cup in his hand. And now? Is Amir Ban "arrogant"? Amir know how strong is Junior at this time and the success give him right! I made the same before the tournament in Leiden started. Ruffian will win the tournament in Leiden and Ruffian won the tournament in Leiden! I am sure with the playing strenght from Ruffian because I know the program by Per-Ola ... see the Arena tournaments for one example! For much people it's possible that it's "arrogant" ... no doubt about it and it's right that my text is "maybe" not good. But I am sure with this text and have after 4 weeks where the handbook is official available I have no interest to changed the text. I am very open with my opinion, in this case too! I can only hope that others make no problems but if so I have a little problem because it need time for it. This is much more important as money because I losed this time for my next projects. Best Frank
