actually it is a good poitn to start. If a program wins an enginematch with
sufficient games (20 are not enough) against another program, there is a high
possibility, that this program is stronger. To verify or to falsify this
assumption, one has to play against other opponents.

I assume, that in 80 % the program which won the enginematch is stronger against
other opponents too.

I doubt that SmarThink will win against ruffian if sufficient games are played.
