Right if you set the playing strenght in a ratio to computer programs. I believe Shredder is a program which is stronger against other programs with more time. For Ruffian the same if I look in game phase smooth transition from middlegame to endgame (the secrets of Ruffian 2.0.0). Maybe Ruffian is in this playing phase the strongest program in the World and this is the reason for the extrem high playing level in the final result. I am not sure, this are my impressions!
