My opinion is that the above explanation is the easiest to explain Ruffian's
SSDF rating.


>In your own tournament Ruffian won in front of Shredder!

Yes, but that is no contradiction at all. Look at the final standing especially
at the error bars:


   Program          Elo     +       -     Games    Score   Av.Op.   Draws
min. Rating  max. Rating

1  Ruffian_Leiden  2724     95     107     34      73.50%   2547    35.30%
2617        2819
2  Shredder-704    2712     96      88     34      72.10%   2547    44.10%
2624        2808

I played much less game than the SSDF. According to my results Ruffian's "true
rating" could be ~200 points better than Shredder's or ~200 points worst.
