Mr. Steen, Fruit is a good program. Chess is a game based on deception. Whoever can lure the opponent into a bad position will win. Fruit is good at being a deceiver. Is Fruit demon-possessed? No! Fruit does spice up the playing of chess and is a most entertaining product. I still wish that Chessbase would include a special Fritz/Fruit edition on DVD in the near future....as the spanish would say Fruit y Fritz. TJ On November 20, 2005 at 22:45:33, A.
