Indeed.

Toga = Fruit. Same program. The hard and difficult work is to write a working
chessprogram in the first place. Why the "author" of Toga gets any credit at
all is beyond me. (what did he do anyway?) Before Toga/Moga, they were called
"cloners".

Fabien's Fruit gets twice the testing done though. With different parameters.
So that's good for Fabien. :)

(I really should give Neurosis's sourcecode to my neighbour (and his grandma)
so they'll change 3 numbers and give it a different name. After their Guineapig,
or if they aren't very creative, just Guineapig-II-0.7. That way i would get
some testing for Neurosis.)

But it's too bad serious testers actually waste CPU on Toga/Moga type things.
