Only one note about the last question.
Remember that the engine from 1995 get hardware advantage of 2800 Mhz against
Ruffian's 950 Mhz.

Without hardware advantage I am sure that no engine from 1995 has chances.
With hardware advantage I am less sure about it and I suspect that Genius3 of
1994 can get close to 50% at blitz(I am not sure if more than 50% or less than
50%).
