I think that it is obvious that no dedicated machine has chances against fruit at long time control. Fruit is a top program and it is known that top programs have better search relative to old programs so the only chance of dedicated machines against RES-fruit are in active chess because of the following 2 reasons: 1)fruit has bad time management for game in X minutes with ponder on. 2)fast time control also probably does not help fruit to get advantage of it's superior search. I think that it is clear that Res-fruit is better than other dedicated machines and for me matches of Res-fruit against other dedicated machines are not interesting and it is more interesting to see how it does against real programs because we can learn from it and the hardware difference how much fruit earns from faster hardware. It will be pity if the ssdf test fruit only against dedicated machines because these tests are not going to tell us something that we did not know(we know that fruit is better and the question if it can get 70% or 80% is not very interesting).
