_No_ my foot.  On a single processor AMD 64 (3400+) Ruffian would hit about 3.5
M nodes per second and reach ply 16-17 in the middle game.  You sure that it
wouldn't be able to take on the big guys?  I am not...  But this is all
speculation, so I'll abstain from further discussion.  You go on with your
apodictic statements:  I find them interesting and entertaining.

Bye and best wishes.  BTW, not a bad showing for a program that regularly beats
other top programs.
