Hi Djordje,

thank you for that statement.

Let me add, that I fully agree with the point - I believe myself, that Ruffian
2.0 is the strongest winboard engine... The problem is, that as a company it is
a problem to advertise it like that - because you can not prove it... and in
german law when you make a claim in advertising that you are best, strongest or
whatever and somebody goes to court you must proof it... and the law is very
strict there, the difference must be very huge (I believe that even a single
position where another engine is better would be a problem at court), the
difference must exist since a long time and the difference must be there for a
long time in the future... if you can't proof it you have a problem... I hope
that nobody will go to court because of that topic. You see, you have already
declared that Deep Sjeng scores 46% against Ruffian 2.0 when Deep Sjeng uses the
Dual - now give both engines a quad Operton - I am quite sure that Deep Sjeng
will win now - and it does not play any role that this is an hardware that
usually nobody has at home... because the statement is, that Ruffian 2.0 is the
strongest winboard engine... (besides, today does not mean available)
Another problem is for sure that Frank does not want to understand that
arguments at all...

Anyway - I wish you and all partners in the Ruffian team great success in the
future, the engine definitely deserve it !

Greets, Thomas
