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? -S.
