I am running another match of 30 games and Fruit 2.1 is either learning or Alaric 704 with my configuration settings was simply lucky

well maybe, the 30 games with the original version does not give a good base for any comparison at all imho.
your settings might still be a lot worse or better .

The answer at this moment is both better with the first result and worse with the second result or this result, but I will go back and mess around with Movei00_8_403 Progress 10 10 10 Personality before I can continue with Alaric 704

PS: In Chess when two programs are of almost the same strength anything can happen, and sometimes you need hundreds or thousands of games:
