Home * Engines * Gambit Fruit



Gambit Fruit, a GPL licensed, Fruit and Toga derivative open source engine written by Ryan Benitez in C++. It has some interesting changes primarily based on the last open-source-version Fruit 2.1, the goal being a fun free and aggressive chess engine. Short after its release in end of 2005, Ryan joined forces with Fabien Letouzey and Joachim Rang for a commercial Fruit, and incorporated Gambit Fruit features into Fruit 2.2 and subsequent versions.

=Added Features= and changes in Gambit Fruit :
 * Alternate piece-square tables
 * Rook pawn score adjustment
 * Rook Bishop bonus
 * Queen Knight bonus
 * Two Rook penalty
 * Two Knight penalty
 * Minor tuning of piece values
 * King tropism
 * Side to move bonus
 * Rook on bad pawn file bonus
 * Pawns on Bishop colour penalty (fewer pawns is better for bishops and with one bishop you should not block it with your own pawns)
 * Improved pawn structure
 * New Lazy Eval
 * Rebel reductions with re-searches
 * Bitbases (using Scorpio bitbase files)
 * Contempt factor

=Acknowledgment= Thank you to Fabian for Fruit 2.1, Thomas for Toga, and to Bryan Hofmann for the Windows compile.
