The original poster(christopher morgan) used tiger14 and reported results.
David only responded and I do not know if have one of the tigers.

My opinion is that it is not fair to use the words of christophe about another
thing against christophe.

Christophe was talking about engines that are only good at long time control
when now we are talking about an engine that is only good at time control that
is not fisher time control.

I also believe that one of the weaknesses of Ruffian is bad time management
and testers of the ssdf already reported that Ruffian often does not use
significant part of it's time in 120/40 games.
