Extirpate is nothing more than Deep Sjeng. I have analyzed it's games and indeed
is nothing more than a renamed engine.

DeepNightmare is Shredder with the Sjeng book in ChessPartner or when using
Arena he is using the gm2600+ book.

I have all of the above noplayed and censored on my accounts. I have no
willingness to play against someone who must lie to gain an advantage.

In fact I recently switched engines (with the permission of computers(*)) from
Shredder to Ruffian. There were so many Shredder clones there it was tough not
to play the same program (which I find useless).

This will be changing. Soon the engine you were granted a computer account for
will be the only program allowed. Abuse against this will result in the account
being locked.
