My guess is Uri uses a very simple patzer eval with big bonusses for good pieces
along with a fast search. So far it makes movei play good, but if you wish to
improve you'll run into a wall.

but, with a bigger eval and good pruning you will still search the promising
lines deeper, right?

It would be outplayed by more positional programs and perhaps score some 'lucky'
