You speak fo Fruit 2.1.  I speak of Fruit WCCC.

I think you are wrong.  And considering Fabien's rapid progress, I suspect that
an SSDF version will gain another 50-100 Elo.

At any rate, the progress of Fruit is such that I think it is probably better on
a single CPU than any other chess engine.  But it is largely speculation on my
