These might all be at one particular time control (?) and the difference in
rating is minimal anyway.
It could very well be that Ruffian 2.1.0 is superior at longer time controls
although initial SSDF ratings don't support this. However I haven't looked at
the margin of error.
The fact that the Ruffian programmer preferred Ruffian 2.1.0 at Leiden seems to
suggest that he feels this version is stronger.
