First of all if Fruit was showing 200 Elo stronger than the opposition then it
must have been against 3 or 4 year old programs.  Second, 30 games is not enough
games to get a good feeling of strength.  Shredder could have been lucky.
Finally, Rybka is definitely stronger than Fruit.  How much is not sure yet.
It's still in Beta testing.
