Hi there. Thanks for these. Just goes to show how good the ten year old Tasc was and of course still is. Good enough to beat almost all of us in this forum. We know what Ruffian can do so this was well done indeed. BTW; I'd like to nominate "Ruffian" as THE best chess program name. I remember Richard Lang saying via (I think) Selective Search magazine that if we could come up with a better name than Genius he'd adopt it as he wasn't that keen on "Genius". Five out of six regards Ray.
