Ruffian showed that book is not very important if you have a strong engine and the only loss of it against xinix was because of some problems of the engine. Tiger could probably score slightly less with Ruffian's book but still better than the other amateurs(except isichess). I believe that it is simply a better program than Baron or Ant or nullmover or zzzz or gnuchess. These programs are most of the amateurs that compete and you cannot be called bad amateur when you are better than most of the amateurs. Uri
