You could simply save time by reading the author words in http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?445829 He said that he does not expect zappa1.1 to beat fruit even at 90+30 time control. In other words, it plays pathetic. If Fruit >2.1 is a free engine reigning over the commercial ones, this one is just a >weakie. I disagree. Zappa1.1 is clearly better than most of the free engines. The fact that it is weaker than the top commercial programs and weaker than fruit2.1 was expected and it is not a reason to say bad words about it. Zappa2 that is going to be commercial is a different program so you can know nothing about it's level at this point of time. Uri
