Subject: fruit 2.2. looking very weak at short time controls

The evidence (requested by someone ) that fruit may be poor at short time
controls is below. In contrast, fritz 8 seems rather strong

People have hypothesized that it is due to poor time management. I have seen
fruit make very bad use of time in 2 12 time controls, but fruit  seems to use
time similarly to other engines at 5 0. However, to reduce the issue of time
management, i followed someones suggestion and ran 1 1 tournements (see below).
Fruit 2.2.1 is still a bit crappy. why does fruit 2.2. look so weak?


this is running on a pentium 2 ghz 598 mhz, 1 gb ram. Nunn 2 test set

the first set is from a 5 0 tournement, which i stopped because someone
suggested it is better to run it at 1 1 .

fritz 8       35.5/54
rybka         30.5/52
spike 1       29.5/53
fritz 9       29.5 /53
toga 1.1      28/53
fruit 2.2     25.5/53
pro deo 1.1   21.5/54
ruffian 2.1   21/53
list 512      18/53


Tournement 1 minute + 1 sec increment (in progress)

fritz 9      20/29
toga II.1    19/29
fritz 8      18/30
rybka 1. 0    16/28
spike 1.0a    13/28
pro deo       12.5/30
fruit 2.2      12.5/29
ruffian 2.1    11.0/29
list 512       9/29


Maybe fruit will turn it around and start winning more in a couple of hundred
games. Has anybody else observed this weakness (and therefore can save me the
trouble of running the tournement)
