unlikely. There are many tournaments in which Ruffian performs much better than
Aristarch. The numbers on the website of Smarthink are not absolute numbers and
can not be compared to SSDF-Ratings or human ratings - which knows the author of
Smarthink very well.

Nevertheless is your enginematch interesting. Let us know how is the final
outcome.
