Hello Ernest,


In that case then I am happy that I asked.


I assumed (again) that it was well known that Ruffian was WB and UCI so I
thought that your response was sarcastic.  Sigh.


Ruffian will use its own book if you do not select a gui book for it under
Shredder Classic.  I just tried it.


The WB2UCI instructions are all over the web but an excellent source are the UCI
pages of Alex Schmidt.  He even has pre-set up WB2UCI for the more popular
engines.  The address is below.
