Seriously, Tony. I doubt that there is another wb-engine which could do better
against Shredder.
The claim Ruffian to be the strongest wb-engine seems quite reasonable to me.
Perhaps Bruce's private monster is the most serious candidate to throw doubts on
this. But Ferret isn't available; so we don't have too many results.
Admittedly, it's a bit of an offensive style of advertising.
But doubtlessly, Perola has done an excellent job.
Looking to the results published by Pablo in another post here
http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?337781
which is
PABLO-ILFE1CXZX, Blitz:9'+3 2003
123456789012345678901234
1 Shredder 7.04 00011½0½½1111110½0½11111 15.5/24
2 Ruffian 2.0.0 11100½1½½0000001½1½00000 8.5/24
nicely demonstrates how unreliable a result of a 4-game match is. Fluctuations
are just too big to make conclusions.
Have nice holidays,
Uli
