Gerbil is a lot newer than Crafty. It didn't even exist 5 years ago!

I have to disagree completely here; what you want to look at depends on what you
are doing.

If you want a chess engine that is instructive and explains how to make one,
Gerbil and TSCP were meant for that purpose.

Crafty and Fruit are optimized implementations which won't mean anything to a
beginner.
