Hi, this is really not easy to explain. When looking at the code of fruit you´ll see a straight foreward engine that is neither well tuned nor has special new or unknown tricks. It seems that among a huge amount of possible "features" in search and eval Fruit has not many of them, but the right ones. The miracle is how Fabien managed to find out what the right ones are and how he was able to find the right parameters to make them fit together that well. One thing every chess prorammer can learn from Fruit is to keep the chess engine simple and to step by step identify the most important improvement to implement and take the time for a bug free and well balanced integration of this improvement before going to the next one.
