Ruffian2.0 is leading WBEC with 75% and it also beated Deep Sjeng1.5 2.5-1.5. I do not think that it will have problems to win WBEC but we are going to wait and see. Note that Deep Sjeng is extremely lucky so far in the premier division. It has 20/28 when the same program did only 56.5/84 in the previous premier division and the opponents were at similiar level. 20/28 is the same percentage as 60/84 and Deep Sjeng1.5 could get only 59.5/84 in the first division when it played against clearly weaker opponents.
