The time control is not unreasonable.

The poster asked if the problem is that ruffian is not good in blitz.

It is playing in WBEC that is not blitz and it is not leading so I do not know
if it is the problem.

It may be interesting to know if people can report about time control when
Ruffian is not last place in the same experiment
