I thought that the Niggemann page is an advertisment for Ruffian and members of the ruffian team did the error. When I read only positive things about a program then it seems to me like an advertisment for the program and after paying attention to the rating that is the only negative thing it seems like an error. If the Niggemann page gives 2600 ssdf rating to chess tiger15 then it is better simply to ignore that page. Uri
