Since the difference in rating is probably more than 40 points between either
Shredder 7 or Fritz8 in comparison to Ruffian 1.0.1, It would be interesting to
see if Shredder 7 or Fritz8 without their opening boos could still beat Ruffian
with its own Book, in a short match of 20 games at G/90 since any shorter time
control would benefit the program that doesn't have to thinks for itself in the
opening stage.

PS: Another interesting Idea would be to implement an algorithm that enable
programs to check each opening move for at least 10 seconds to see if the
program could detect a better choice of move order and replace that weak move
with a stronger one. The reason for implementing such loop would be logical in
the case that an opening book has an inferior move which was selected long time
ago by a weak master or even a strong GM. I have noticed that when you pit two
programs of almost equal strength (within 20 points lower or higher) specially
in Engines vs Engines match under Fritz GUI. Most programs always win with
either Black or White regardless if you switch programs when playing the same
opening.
