Hi Several messages in the last few days are handling the analysis / evaluation issues. I believe I am one of the Ruffian's customers that still have doubts about the 'power' of its game. Considering the following positions and the following evals, I got an conclusion that Ruffian is not a good evaluator. Checkout (and compare) the scores provides by Ruffian against other engines... Ruffians thinks different. Simple and Plain. Ok, the positions have a particular and similar pattern, but I found out the same thing with other setups...
