No, it is not a clone of crafty. I will tell you that it does use Dan Corbit's big book and crafty's book code, and the same egtb code that is used in crafty 18.15. Other than that not much else is from crafty. Oh some of the Print functions I referenced are from crafty 16.x if memory serves correct. Storm is a SMP engine and uses a completely different algorithm for its search eval. It uses ABDADA.I have offered portions of code to Professor Hyatt but on the terms it not be published or used by him or others. My move generator functions are completely different and I can not go into detail regarding them as some of the code came from a professional programmer (at least the approach) on the condition I not release that code ever. Because a program has similar evals does not make it a clone. If I wanted to clone crafty I would not have been working on Storm for years; actually starting about one year before CCT1. As I have told Professor Hyatt. I am not cloning crafty. We have talked and he is fine. Any other questions someone may have; I'm willing to answer them to the best of my ability. I would appreciate ad hominems and other unnecessary comments not be made as I have stated I'm willing to back-up my claim. Thank you Sean Empey
