FRUIT (COMPUTER)
(born 2003)

[what is this?]

Its programmer is Fabien Letouzey. It is related to Cyclone (Computer). Fruit uses the "null move heuristic" in which all variations are pruned that stem from positions so strong for the player to move, that even if they "make a null move" ("pass" the move, which is of course illegal) still leaves that player with a substantially winning position. Special programming disables the null-move heuristic in situations where zugzwang may be relevant. (1).

Toga (Computer) is a modification of Fruit, using node extension recaptures only at principle variation nodes, multiprocessor support, and other features.(2)

Jun-18-08  Swifty31: Thanks for the replys. I have played them a bunch now. Rybka and Fruit both crush Delphi, the other engine I have. But Fruit is at least equal to Rybka, in fact a little better from the tournaments on my machine. And Fruit is free to download, it used to be sold but now its free.
Jun-18-08  whiteshark: <Swifty31> I think these <engine ratings> based on special setups that vary (from the testing community). They all are a kind of clinical.

As for the lastest versions of Fruit check http://www.superchessengine.com/ every now and again. Recently it's Fruit 2.3.1.

Jul-09-08  Swifty31: I think I have figured out what I was doing wrong. Fruit seems to be using the Nalimov tablebases and Rybka wasnt accessing them, I turned them off for both to be fair, and Rybka started beating Fruit more and has taken the lead. Thanks for the link I will tryout the new fruit. Do you guys use opening books? I have them both using Arena's opening book, Rybka comes with a book but Arena cant open the book.
Jul-15-08  vesivialvy93: I have fruit 2.2.1 and chessmaster 10th edition (same computer), i don't understand why but in 10 games in 1 minute per move fruit destroyed CM10 +6-1=3 and in 10 blitz games 5 sec per move CM10 crushed fruit2.2.1 +8-2...Chessmaster looks incredibly strong in very short games , is someone can play CM9000 or 10th against Rybka in 3 or 5minutes game or with both in 5 seconds per move in average, not longer please thx!!
Aug-01-08  Swifty31: I have since posting this message purchased Deep Shredder 11 with Shredder gui, I have also bought a quad pc Vista 32 bit. In a 25 match with Rybka 2.3.2 A MP vs. Deep Shredder 11 I have the following match results Deep Shredder won 11 there were 8 draws and Rybka took 6 games. So Deep Shredder was stronger on my new PC. But I had to use the Shredder book for both programs, that may give Shredder the edge.

Against Fruit, Shredder won 14 games, 8 draws, and Fruit only won 3 games. Deep Shredder 11 is an animal!

Aug-01-08  Swifty31: Against Crafty 22, Deep Shredder ran the table with 19 wins and 6 draws. He also laid waste to my other two engines, Chess Tiger 2007, and Pro Deo 1.6.

Does anyone know the best version of Toga II for me to download? I would like a version that uses multiple processors. I want to pit Deep Shredder against it.

Aug-29-15  SpiritedReposte: Well this page's kibitzing took a turn didn't it?
Dec-29-15  Flipboard Newsstand: Fruit got some sweet moves back in the day.
Dec-29-15  Hobo Erectus: The Fruit had a nasty bug during its alpha days and could only be run as an admin. When old Fruit is run with admin privileges, the "all-seeing eye" algorithm is activated.
