Go up one level in this thread

I see no surprise here.
Reason: Hardware.

I don't know what hardware is used in Leiden, but I suspect that some of the
opponents of Fruit use powerful Dual or Quad systems.
Fruit is a great engine, and it may dominate the home users tournaments, but in
the _big_ official tourneys againts the multi-threaded engines. Same goes for
Hiarcs10 that performed unexpectedly low in the recent CCT- Blitz tournament.
Great engines, but cannot cope with the hardware dissadvantage.

I think the time for a single threaded program winning those tourneys is comming
to an end.
