[Game snipped]
30 games is enough to see a general trend.
Muse ranked 163 Elo below Ruffian, and 98 Elo below Delphi, and so very likely
they are somewhat stronger.  But for other bigshots like the new Pharaon, GLC
and AnMon, Muse is of commensurate strength.  At least according to one set of
measurements.
