Subject: Beating Ruffian

I recently played a couple of blitz games on Chess Base Server with Ruffian to
test a self-created book.
one (crazy? he claimed a win on disconnect pretty soon) guy had obviously worked
out a variation to beat Ruffian (and other programs?).
He tried to improve his rating with this variation:

killer gambit (2623) - Ruffi (2331) [A01]

1.b3 e5 2.e4 Nc6 3.Bb2 Nf6 4.Nc3 Bc5 5.Nf3 Ng4 6.d4 exd4 7.Nd5 d3 8.Qxd3 Nxf2
9.Qc3 killer gambit claims win on disconnect 9...Nxh1 10.Qxg7 Rf8 11.Nf6+ Ke7
12.Nd5+  0.66/8  0  Ke8 13.Bf6  0.41/9  0  Ne7 14.Ng5  0.44/8  0  Nxd5 15.Bxd8
0.84/7  0  Bb4+ 16.Kd1  2.00/9  3  Bc3 17.e5  2.44/8  0  Ne3+ 18.Kc1  3.81/8  0
Nf5 19.Qf6  4.00/8  0  d5 20.Bxc7  4.00/8  0  Bd7 21.Bd6  5.59/8  0  Nxd6
22.Qxd6  5.59/7  0  Rh8 23.Qxd5  6.34/8  0  Rf8 24.Nxh7  8.72/7  0  Rh8 25.Nf6+
10.22/8  0  Kf8 26.Nxd7+ Ruffi,Ruffian 1.0.1 gibt auf 1-0

All moves till 11.Nf6+ were played instantly out of his book.
seems to work at longer time controls too.
