Whichever engine you take, it doesn't play well permanently, only once in a while. It's a human who evaluates its play and as an OTB player I don't always sing praises to anyone of them. Sometimes they do well, sometimes they tread on the wrong track. There's a limited number of engines a human player can sometimes trust, Ruffian being one of them.
