I dont know really how you can formulate this question in this Match. 5 minutes? an Old Diep Version with an eccentric book? I dont see Ruffian in the top of the SSDF. Ruffian can already beat a lot of Amaterus engine with its random book but if you plan to use a little book, how can you expect to improve the previous Ruffian results with the random book with a little book? Do you know what it means to test a big book tuned by hand? Do you still believe that a mere Match of 5 minutes is enough? Why to choose such an old opponent of 1995 in the event you dont really have the Version 2.XX of 2001?
