When I said that Fruit reminds me more of Karpov than the other two, I had in mind the fact that Fruit does not always seek the simplest moves that lead to a win, the way Capablanca did. Sometimes the new Fruit WCCC (a.k.a. Fruit 2.2), goes out for a gory win :-). However, just like you, I think that there is room for even further improvement in the sceptical program.
