Subject: Another Fruit question

Author: GeoffW

Hi

I have been playing a few games with Fruit recently, the thing that I found most
surprising about it was the amazing time to depth of its search algorithm. My
progrma is not especially slow but it was lagging usually 1 or 2 ply in the
opening and 3 or so ply in the middlegame.
I am sure Fabien said it was a slow searcher in one of his posts !! I wish I
could make my program as slow a searcher as Fruit :-)

As I think I recall Fabien saying there were no especially new features in Fruit
I am very intruiged as to how Fruit manages to get so deep so quickly?

Is it due to exellent move ordering, aggressive pruning, or something else ?

Any thoughts ?
