I really like Ruffian's time management.  It seems to catch up often when behind
because it knows to use more time.  I rarely see engines lose on time unless it
is a lightning game.

I haven't done any benchmarking tests in my recent hobby of comp-chess testing.
Can you give me a link to the nunn sets and I'll give them a shot.
