I said exactly what GCP has said to me in the past... A clone is a duplicate with a few changes. Sjeng doesn't use the same kind of data structures and search that I use.

At one point he complained about my king safety, wanting me to write something better so he could use it. We both had a chuckle during the conversation. :)
