I think a lot of people are rooting for Fruit, but the truth is that it still has a lot of improvement to make. It has to be able to use multiprocessors, this is especially true since multi core processors will be the norm and not the exception. Also it has to learn how to use EGTB. I was watching the game against Zappa yesterday where Fruit had an evaluation of -2.0 while my Shredder with EGTB was showing mate in 31. That is a HUGE disadvantage. One more thing is that Fruit's evaluation is totally different from any other program, therefore it needs a specially tuned book. In my experiments Fruit performs really great with some books but is miserable in other books. Still these things can easily be resolved if its gifted author decides to go for it. A version of Fruit with the mentioned improvements will be a truly formidable program.
