I don't know if there are any problems with pondering in Ruffian or if there are any other problems in related software (for example Arena) which may have an influence on Ruffian's performance. Therefore I didn't speculate about the possible reasons for this possibly existing or not existing problems. > >It is possible that a program may be 100 elo better than previous version with >ponder off or at x minutes/40 moves and not stronger with ponder on or at x >minutes per game(the way sarah tested it). >The question is if that is the case with Ruffian. Possibly yes, possibly no. I didn't make any statements about errors to find or not to find in Ruffian. I made a statement about the most supposable reason for Ruffian's result in the SSDF list - not more or less. Volker
