Additional it is not parallel, so from programming viewpoint it also is years away from shredder and fritz there. I estimate Fruit is about 5 fulltime years of programming chessknowledge away from shredder and an additional 2 years of programming for parallellism. Perhaps Fabien can manage the parallellism. Let's hope so. I have faith in him there. But the chessknowledge, forget it. No chance. Fritz chessknowledge is very well tuned and it's a lot more than Fruit, but by now of course also outdated in case they want to win a world title.
