I demand a comparison using a neutral third party book! :-) OTOH, rating lists indicate that the Fritz 5.32 engine itself may be not more than 50...55 elo weaker than Ruffian 2.x, which could mean that there is some probability for a F.532 match win even in a long match (and especially when it can use a very good book no matter if it's fritz-tuned or not). IOW it probably isn't too surprising. Then and when, sh** happens. :-) But it's just one result among many. Regards, Mike
