As the situation appears to be a bit unclear with respect to the new Ruffian versions (which one is strongest, maybe Leiden or some betas are even better than 2.x etc.) I decided to wait and see a bit with respect to Ruffian and to test Deep Sjeng 1.6 instead.
After 719 unique games Deep Sjeng 1.6 comes in as third, some 20 points behind Ruffian 1.0.1. A bit a surprise: it was Pepito 1.59 that scored the highest against Deep Sjeng. On place 4 there is now a four-way tie between Thinker, Ktulu, Smarthink and Crafty 17.14.
The suffix ntb means btw that Deep Sjeng 1.6 (just like Crafty 19.6) is playing without EGTBs. The reason is that the 6 piece tablebase code does not run on my computer for unknown reasons; various advice (installation of .net framework etc.) that I received did not resolve the problem. Anyway, EGTBs would have almost no influence on the playing strength, at most 10 ELO if not 0 points.
Time control is 300+2, for exact conditions, platform and tools please see link below. Pharaon is now the new fixed reference point with a rating of 2509.
I will go on a 11 day holiday now, YABRL will take a break; during my absence (hope there will be no power cut) I will run a book test with Crafty instead.
