In the Chessbase GUI, I have found that if you just load Fruit 2.2 without opening up the engine parameters, the settings are left alone (I think...but of course you can't check !) However, if you load the Fruit 2.2 engine and open the engine parameters, and then close them with the "OK" button, that's when the CB GUI switches off EXTENDED FUTILITY and HISTORY PRUNING (yes...it really does), thus weakening the engine. If you close engine parameters using Cancel (rather than OK) it also doesn;t change the settings. This has been my experince....anyone else can confirm ? When I first got Fruit 2.2 I didn't realise this and was losing frequently against weaker programs. Since being made aware of it (via this forum - thanks) then performance has increased dramatically. Previous threads have suggested that this is being addressed but I can't recall whetehr the fix will be in CB GUI update, or a Fruit 2.2 next relesae ? Does anyone know ? Regards, Mark
