Ruffian reaches ply 18 easily here, but it still clings on to gxh4.  It needs
play 19 to see that things are not peachy. (BTW, Hydra was doing a 20 ply search
here.)  But I doubt that a single CPU version of Ruffian could actually avoid
the move at the Leiden time controls anyway.  As already pointed out some other
programs also go for the pawn.  What does Movei do?
