Really? Just the line from fruit:eval.c:

  eval = ((opening * (256 - phase)) + (endgame * phase)) / 256;

I find that VERY hard to believe. That concept has been around a
very long-time.

You must propose something better.

Superior evaluation?

That code is trivially small.

So, small is beautiful?

We need specifics. I see nothing special about Fruit 2.1 evaluation
to explain the strength.
