Toga never played anything like Hiarcs and Toga 1.1 got closer to playing like
Fruit 2.2.  Thomas disabled changes he made in Toga 1.0, added some changes from
the readme file in Fruit 2.2 and added some history pruning changes and got got
Toga 1.1.  I am a strong enough chess player (but not that strong) to understand
the personality of a chess engine I often play against.  I play or have played
Fruit, Toga, and Gambit Fruit often.  Gambit Fruit was the one I lost to most
often until I found it's weakness (it gives up its pawn shield too easy because
of the tropism bonus, use a knight to instigate bad pawn moves).  I don't update
Gambit Fruit any more though so I mostly play Fruit now (a few games a day).
