I will give you two examples: [Event "Ktulu 5.1 Beta 3 bugfixed - Ruffian 1.0"] [Site "?"] [Date "29.??.??"] [Round "1"] [White "Ktulu 5.1"] [Black "Ruffian 1.05"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "E84"] [PlyCount "104"] [EventDate "29.??.??"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3.

Nxg5 Kxg5 1-0 [Event "Ktulu 5.1 Beta 3 bugfixed - Ruffian 1.0"] [Site "?"] [Date "2004.05.29"] [Round "9"] [White "Ktulu 5.1"] [Black "Ruffian 1.05"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "D39"] [PlyCount "107"] [EventDate "2004.??.??"] 1. d4 Nf6 2.

My own results for Ktulu 7.0 (newest beta) are: Against List 5.12 +5 -3 =2, against Aristarch 4.41 +3 -2 =5, against Ruffian 1.05 +7 -3 =0, against Fruit 2.0 +5 -2 =3 and against Delfi 4.5 +5 -2 =3 Time control was 10 minutes + 1 second incremental time. The hardware was a Dell Laptop with 1,9 GHz and 512 MB RAM. A match with a time control of 3 minutes + 1 second was lost against Delfi 4.5 with +3 -4 =5. I hope my good results will be confirmed by others... If you are interested in the pgn-files, just send email to jakiwit at yahoo.de Best regards Jan
