That would have been the right thing to do. Especially for such a young program as fruit, it makes not a lot of senses to make some changes to the source and introduce it as a separate entity to tournaments. i.e Somebody could easily improve my engine (that is barely able to play chess) by 200 Elo points or more by implementing hashtables if he had the sources. But what is the sense of it, i know I have to implement hashtables when I have time. regards Andy
