Hello Tansel!

No doubt, Fruit 2.2.1 is among the best engines of today and stronger than Fruit
2.1. In fact it is leading my own ratinglist:

  Program                    Elo    +   -   Games   Score   Av.Op.  Draws

 1 Fruit 2.2.1             : 2755   36  36   260    63.3 %   2660   31.2 %
 2 Hiarcs 10               : 2752   37  37   260    62.9 %   2660   26.5 %
 3 Toga II 1.1a            : 2736   35  35   260    60.6 %   2662   33.5 %
 4 Shredder 9              : 2720   36  36   260    58.1 %   2663   29.2 %
 5 Fritz 9                 : 2717   36  36   260    57.7 %   2663   29.2 %
 6 Spike 1.1               : 2706   35  35   260    56.0 %   2664   32.7 %
 7 SmarThink 1.00          : 2661   35  35   260    49.0 %   2667   32.7 %
 8 Ktulu 7.5               : 2652   37  37   260    47.7 %   2668   23.8 %
 9 The King 3.33           : 2645   35  35   260    46.5 %   2669   32.3 %    10
Naum 1.91               : 2612   34  35   260    41.5 %   2671   34.6 %
11 Gandalf 6.0             : 2611   36  36   260    41.3 %   2671   28.1 %
12 Loop List 600           : 2603   37  38   260    40.2 %   2672   23.5 %
13 Glaurung 1.0.1          : 2586   38  39   260    37.7 %   2673   20.8 %
14 Ruffian 2.1.0           : 2585   36  36   260    37.5 %   2673   31.2 %

Still, Toga II 1.1a is really a strong alternative. It's based on Fruit 2.1 and
it's a free-ware engine. In my ratinglist it is 19 points behind Fruit 2.2.1 but
I have seen other ratnglists in which Toga II 1.1a is in front of Fruit 2.2.1
(if only by a small margin).
