Agreed.  Zappa 1.1 appears to be performing around 150 elo points below Fruit
2.1, at least at the Playchess server.  It's a mystery to me how the author
managed to make it so strong as to get the WCCC, but he did it and deserves
kudos... Anyway, Fruit 2.1 finds the nice move as well, quite quickly, and on a
single cpu (only 64 meg hash).  Takes 37 seconds for the splendid rook sac:


New game,
