 You said that one, two, three times but people don't understand it. This was
just another tournament and everything can happen. People must see tournaments
with so small number of games as fun-tournaments  and do not make "strong"
conclusions about the engines. If the engines played 20.000 games each, then
things would change and we should start talking about Ruffian is stronger....
