I still think that Fabien's decision to release Fruit WCCC'05 to the CEGT
testers was a bold gamble that paid off bigtime.
People could see from the outstanding results that Fruit 2.2 was the number one
engine at that point in time (and possibly still is although it's a close call
between it and Fritz 9 now).
That's publicity that money can't buy.
I have a feeling that the new List Loop could surprise. It's been a long time
since List 512 was released and that version is still amongst the top group of
free engines.
These are indeed great times for computer chess hobbyists!   :-)
