The silence of the author of Ruffian is double silence. No public tournaments and no posts. The programmer of Fritz sold his program in the past so he could get fidback from other people and improve it. A lot of weak version of Fritz played in the ssdf games. In the case of Ruffian no selling of it and no release. Uri
