It seems that in 1sec per move Toga 2.1.1 is stronger than Fruit 2.2.1.
However, the longer is time control, the stronger is Fruit 2.2.1.
In CEGT rating list (40 moves/40 min) Fruit 2.2.1 is stronger by 50 Elo.
Of course, Toga 2.1.1 is stronger than Fruit 2.1.
It is interesting that Fruit wins against weak engines more often than Toga.
It is also interesting that some people (which cannot beat Shredder or Junior)
winned against Fruit and its clones many times.
