In the evaluation function is it better to have a few weights but well tuned or more weights not well tuned?
What does your experience say?

Fewer, but better. Fewer weights helps with orthogonality, and the tuning may well make up for the missing terms. Plus, the terms will harmonise themselves with your search, increasing search speed.

Of course less weights are easier to tune, but even if they are well tuned they can't express all the knowledge of a more complex evaluation.
So the answer is not so easy.
