7 winning setting?
Does it mean that Crafty played with different setting in different games?

What do the numbers mean.
I can guess that after 1 you have value for pieces in centi-pawns but I am not
sure.

I guess that the games were played with ponder on.
It may be interesting if you later repeat the experiment but tell Ruffian not to
ponder(Crafty can continue to ponder).

I read claims that Ruffian performs worse with pondering and it may be
interesting if pondering is not counter productive for it.

It is possible that thanks to pondering bug the best setting for Ruffian on dual
PC is to tell it not to ponder.

If there is no way to tell winboard to tell only one engine to ponder in order
to do it then maybe you can change the source code of Crafty to ignore the easy
command and ponder.
