Quite frankly, I got sick of hearing about gothic chess, so I downloaded the vortex program to try it out. I searched the exefile for the sequence 96, 48, 48, 48, 45, 42, 40, 40 which happens to be the start of crafty's outside_passed[128] data (at least for version 19.3). I found a match in GothicVertex. When I looked further... I found many matches between the programs. xlate, tropism, temper, passed pawms, isolated pawns, outside pawns, majority, piecesquare tables, etc... they all seem to match. Even the order of data, match the order of the declarations in craty's data.c file. Some of the data seem to be modified for a 10x8 board, like isolani, double and passed pawn values. I hate to point a finger at someone, but... You are licensing the program for 20$. Did you ask Bob for "the express written permission of the author"? /Mikael
