Do you say that Ruffian scores better under Fritz gui when all programs use
their original books and not when all programs use remis.ctg and after every
game they play a game in the same opening with opposite colors?

Do you think that the commercial programs have inferior book relative to Ruffian
or Maybe the problem is that Ruffian has a bug in using other books and it's
time management or it's moves are broken for some reason when you force it not
to use it's book.
