Hi Jouni,

Looks like a lot of people over here are crazy about Fruit even w/o trying it
over other engines. Lol! Someone used to post, it seems, that an 11 games'
tourney cannot be a proof of the programme's strengths or weaknesses. Long-term
testing should be done. No-one really knows how strong the new Fritz version
really is. As is said, "let's wait and see", right? Friedel used to tell me the
new engine is simply packed with chess knowledge. It is only some while after
when we get a chance of feeling it that we can see what he can do in reality
with Fruit, Zappa and other silicon monsters. I remember Frans Morsch said in an
interview that from now on they would be working to make this engine play sound
chess; not good chess from the point of view of beating machines or sound chess
for beating humans. They will try to make Fritz play universally sound chess; it
may compete very successfully against the machines as a result, he said. But
their ambition is to make an engine that will play very good chess in general
terms.
Cheers,
Alexander
