If the source or executable he sends doesn't match the engine used in CCT4, then appropriate action can be taken, such as a lifetime ban from CCT events, plus a lifetime ban from ICCA events. 4. If the source or executable _does_ match the engine output from the match then the problem is resolved, once it is certain that the thing is not a copy of existing programs. Source would be best, but executable is more than enough (IE I can take an executable and search for a series of binary "signatures" that will only be found in Crafty. Others can do the same for Yace or other "suspected" engines. I do not like "sudden" entries, as we have had enough of the Gunda/Bionic/ LePetite/Voyager/etc nonsense already. However, a new engine _is_ possible, so simple investigation should be able to unwind all this without a lot of arguing and wasted time. Let's see if we can clear this up rather than having speculation run wild once more...
