Dear Mr. Steen, Nice game, but irrelevant to conclude “…Fruit is much weaker against reasonable humans than it is against other engines…” The generalization like that could be made only after statistical researching and correlation on many hundreds or thousand games. I thing that the root of Fruit’s disaster is in the first move (bad opening book, or playing without opening book). 1. e4 Sc6??? In my opinion Fruit is bad player in closed, strategic positions, it likes open lines (evaluation function!). In most open and semi open positions its power rises extremely and in that type of games it could beet everyone. Try, after your 1. e4 to force Fruit to play 1…e5, or 1…c5 and then continue to play normally. I am not sure that you will be able to repeat such a nice and relax game. Good luck against bitter lemon, and best regards. Vladan Vuckovic
