Hi Jouni,

test positions could and may not necessarily mean too much in actual game play
(just think about Little Goliath etc.).  Ruffian Leiden is more in the old
Ruffian 1.0.1 and 1.0.5 groove (solid, counter attacker) while Ruffian 2.0 is a
more aggressive, and more unstable, version.  I would always pick Ruffian Leiden
as the best Ruffian there is and I would not be too sure that there is a program
in the world that can beat it for sure and with a convincing margin.  At least
that is what my test results show.  However, I am involved and a little biased
here.

Regards,

Djordje
