For instance, when a program says "bye" when it exits it is usually a TSCP clone. A string table examination will generally verify the initial guess. Similarly for other engines. >What is the reason that you do not tell the public which engines are tscp or >gnuchess clones when the author does not give credit to the original authors? Because I have no solid proof. I will be very, very reluctant to accuse someone of something unless I am completely sure of it. Or I have sent an email to the offending author and am waiting for their final response. There are also programs where the author mentions in passing that their engine is based upon the code of some other engine. A scan of the CCC archives will turn up several. I consider these as "already known."
