4 minutes /40 moves

Fruit2.2       2770
Crafty Cito1.2 2557

This is without the original opening books but I do not see a reason to assume
the result is very different with opening book.

Fruit performed clearly better than Crafty in WCCC inspite of clearly inferior
hardware so 200 elo is clearly logical.
