In Human - computer I also got fruit eng and fruit book combo to work

Again stopping match requires I hit resign(2x)or close Arena

In comp matches I get strange opening results

sometime 1 move very quick sometimes 2 once one side played 5 move quickly the
other was calculating on the second or third moves

previously no books at all were being used in comp matches
