No The programmer of Ruffian said that ruffian is not better at long time control. I think that believing him may be a good idea. There is no evidence that ruffian is better at long time control and I do not trust games when the autoplayer is used. I trust more the results of Igor gerlikov when Ruffian beated Yace and Crafty but the difference was about the same at all time controls. Uri
