Djordje Vidanovic reported it to us and now we know the reason. CB-GUI let's the engine ponder even while in book. If the move of the opponent matches the ponder move Fruit does not play from the book but calculates. If later the move from the opponent does not match the ponder move Fruit begins to play book moves again. Fabien has already fixed this and it will be made available int the first update of Fruit togehter with Tablebase-Support. I'm sorry of that bug but it will be fixed soon. I hope for your understanding. Joachim
