Hi Enrico,

This is not really a question of EGTBs or not, but about null move
pruning.  Unlike most other engines, Fruit *always* uses null move
pruning, even when one side has only the king left.  This is the
reason why Fruit doesn't announce mate quickly in your position.

Try to deactivate null move pruning in Fruit (set the "NullMove Pruning"
parameter to "Never"), and Fruit will announce mate after a few
seconds.
