No I think that there is agreement that this case is also includes in clones. I remmeber cases when it was claimed that programs are crafty clone inspite of not having the same evaluation function. > >> >>if i make "tweaked engines" then use new name this is clone? > >You can not use a slightly changed engine as it was your own. >> > >>if i make "tweaked engines" but use original author name, this is not "clone"? > >In both a tweaked and cloned program you should always say who made it.

I know at least about one program that is identical to pepito in the search rules(siboney) and one tscp clone and there are more examples when the only thing that was changed is the evaluation and not from crafty(see Horizon).
