Nicolas,
That's very helpful, the sort of thing that makes releasing worthwhile!
I know about lack of mobility/activity, see my post about fruit info.
People don't understand yet that Fruit is bad, but I can do better.
How much better I don't know, probably not much.
Unfortunately I won't be able to improve the engine in the next two weeks.
I have to release other programs so Fruit can be used with xboard and Winboard.
But commented games like that, very useful.
I am counting on the computer chess community, because I can't test it all myself.
Not enough computing power as a start.
Fabien.

Hello,
so i will comment others games .... i have run severals gams vs the top engines and until now your engines didn't won... i have a look on the game vs Aristarch 4.40 , and it seems that Fruit make an error in final , i will check...
Regards
Nicolas
Salut Fabien ,
en francais cette fois ! Je commenterais d'autres parties , car j'ai essayé Fruit avec quelques uns des meilleurs , pour l'instant Fruit n'a pas gagné de partie .
Contre aristarch il a fait une erreur en finale , ( mauvaise interprétation des pions passés liés ) mais il faut que je vérifie !
Cordialement ,
Nicolas
