I disagree I do not think that it is a surprise. Other results seem quite normal with a few >exceptions (ProDeo could be a bit higher and Tao lower in the list). >But since Fruit 2.1 has been released, never did Fruit (2.1, wccc or 2.2) >achieve such a disappointing result in any official public appearance. It means that fruit was extremely lucky in other tournaments or had a clearly better book that the opponents. With all respect to fruit Fruit is not better than Deep Shredder with 4 processors but it scored better in WCCC. It can be or because of luck or because you had better book than sandro. >At WCCC Fruit had finished 2nd with 77.3% against a stronger field. >At CCTblitz Fruit finished equal first with 83.3%. >Even playing with a non-tuned book, Fruit is presently leading the field at WBEC >riederkerk with 68.3 %. >Here Fruit has a miserable 58.3%¨performance so far and it has lost as many >half-points in 6 games than in the whole stronger 11-games event in Reijkjavik. Fruit lost against the same opponents that it lost in WCCC. >OK Fruit has already played (and lost) against the two strongest opponents but >it still has to meet The King, Ktulu, Deep Sjeng and/or Gandalf. If Fruit cannot >manage to win its three remaining games this tournament will be a real black >stone in Fruit's garden. I do not expect fruit to win the remaining games and I think 2/3 or 2.5/3 is not a disaster for fruit. I see no reason to expect fruit to win the tournament when it supports only one processor. If we talk about the opponents they were able to learn from fruit open source so they may be even stronger than the opponents in WCCC. Uri
