I completely agree with you, Roger.
Such a small amount of games has nearly no statistical signification (see the
"+" /"-" values).
I just wished to know wether Fruit was able not to be ridiculous at such timing
against the best ones.
That's already more than twice the number of games that Fruit played at Massy
(and then Fabien told me its third place was due to the fact that Fruit was not
to good at blitz).
Regarding the quality, I briefly reviewed the majority of the games : they are
globally very good and sometimes brilliant.
But there are already lots of larger tests : in 48 hours Fruit really
established itself as a true contender for the title of best program in the
world, at any timing (see CEGT)!
Amazing : when I published preliminary results yesterday I had comments saying
that there was surely a flaw in my tests ...

A star is born ...
