Thanks

I agree that it is not logical to consider me as a cloner based on this type of
experiments and I am sure that fabien also agree about it but I am afraid that
tournament organizaers will not agree about it based on what I read here.

Note that I also plan to learn from fruit's structure about designing better
functions to detect bugs and better design of the code(similiar to fruit but
without copy and paste) because today movei is badly written and there is a lot
of global variables in it and I think to start from scratch with having special
structures for the board similiar to fruit but of course no copy and paste and
my board representation is different from fruit and it is probably not going to
be changed.

This is one of the advantages that I can get from code and not from ideas in
english because ideas in english do not explain to me how to write a better
code.

I still did not start to rewrite movei because I still want to improve the
existing version before the next tournament of WBEC.
