Fruit does not truncate the principal variation nor does it restore the pv from the Hashtable. That means the variation shown in the engine window does always reflect the best line as considered by Fruit. You won't find blunders or strange moves at the end of the PV nor a PV of just a few moves. That is a rather rare feature among the top-commercials. > >Will it calculate and display multiple lines in infinite analysis mode?

Currently more than 1024 MB Hashtable are not supported. >What is the expected speed, such as kilonodes per second, as compared to some >other common engine(s)? For example on my computer Shredder 9 runs at about 300 >kn/s in the startup chessboard position. That is a rather uninteresting figure for analysing strength. Fruit is a bit quicker than Shredder 9. On My Athlon 64 2400 MHz Fruit has around 800kn/s n the starting position where Shredder has around 500kn/s. > >Thanks.
