If Vincent hadn't asked the question here, someone else might have later.
How about you change the rules for this tournament, so that _every_ new
participant must _prove_ that their program is not a direct clone?
Why wait until someone gets suspicious, that is bound to happen at some point if
the program scores even a single draw.

And just what is a clone, perhaps there should be a definition of that.
When is code-reuse just saving time by not reinventing the deep plate, and when
is it *cloning*?
Am I cloning if I use Crafty's movegenerator and search extensions?
