I did not know that you already started testing and already have results.

Can I understand from your post that history threshold=50 is the only change in
the Uri setting?(note that it is the only change that I suggested)

Result seems good so far and I hope that fruit can keep 50 elo advantage
relative to Fritz9.

I read in another forum the following words(original words are in hebrew and
I did translation to english in this post):

"In my opinion for most people there is no justification to spend 35$ for an
engine with no interface even if it is 30 elo stronger than Fritz9.

It is better to buy Fritz9 for the same money because it comes with a nice
interface and a lot of possibilities to analyze"


Maybe if Fabien makes it more than 50 elo better then it will convince more
people to buy Fruit(remember that we can hope that the update with tablebases is
going to be stronger than Fruit Uri setting).
