So that you could get something 'better'?" I've been posting here since I was 17 years old and knew very little about chessprogramming. If you're going to cherrypick pick quotes from me from the past, you'd have no problem making me look like a fool, a moron, a total asshole, a thief, and probably a few more things. If I said that, I was joking. I am very happy with Sjengs current kingsafety code, thank you very much. And yes, I still think crafties is no good, but I know that you'll never agree with me on that one :) >I didn't make that up.

I am positive I never sent you pieces of my eval code (unless they were trivial). Only Dann Corbit has another copy of the source code, and I'm farily sure he isn't sending it around either. Almost exactly one year ago I emailed you to ask whether you had any objections to me 'stealing' the idea of your candiate majority system (I already had outside passers back then). I ended up *debugging* the relevant code in *crafty* because it didn't work. While doing so, I sent you several snippets of *crafty* code with corrections, before deciding that I could probably do much better myself. -- GCP
