See WCCC game against Diep : it was a good prepared variation that I had checked with both Fruit and a couple of other engines running while encoding it for the book. But I did not have the time to have Fruit playing a couple of games from the final book position. As you can see it played it terribly against Diep and was completely outplayed. This is the perfect exemple of a line that does not "suit" fruit at all! The same goes for Erdogan's anticomputer doenner gambit. Fruit goes like any other engine in the purely loosing plan to exchange Bb4xNc3 followed by a french-like closed center where its chances are near zero due to the lack of a black-squares bishop. At the opposite, the completely drawish-looking line played at the final round against futé leads to a kind of position where I knew that Fruit is extremely strong. I chose it for the win! Fruit never looses in such positions and wins a large number of games. Marc
