I don't think Bob has said that ruffian is not a new engine. Like most people
he's just being skeptical which seems quite alright in a situation like this.

''Ruffe'' (which uses Ruffian) has been playing on fics for a long time. Years.
It's got a high rating with slow hardware. That has been object of discussion at
least on FICS and there are people who are suspicious.

The rest remains to be speculation until we get more information. Care should be
taken when jumping to conclusions on matters like this. Yes you may be right,
but do not ruins someones reputation without some more evidence.
