Actually, research has recently proven that EVERY chess program in the world is
a Crafty clone.  This was established when researchers found that every program
has, at one time or another, made a move that Crafty has made somewhere
sometime.  That is certainly a large enough sample size for a statistically
significant result.  Moreover, JRLOK has beaten Crafty several times, which can
only mean JRLOK is also a Crafty clone (not Roman).  Finally, FIDE has announced
that all Crafty clones will be allowed to compete in the World Chess
Championship, and that the program with the best record will win 10,000,000 ...
beans.
