I cannot see why the history of ElChinito is relevant here. What is being discussed is the binary ElChinito.exe, and that it was built using Crafty code (including the wrong [buggy] Crafty code). It does not matter how long ElChinito.exe was written, when it was written and who wrote it. Even if Uri wrote ElChinito.exe, it does not change the fact that the binary is from the Crafty source code. Even if Uri wrote it in 2000 and it took him 4 years to do so and he has won many tournaments with it. No one here is interested in personality or history. This is a purely technical issue. If BMW copies the design of a Mercedes engine, it does not matter how many years it took them to do it or how many awards they get with it or how many cars they sell with it. It is still a copy. What's even worse is if the BWM engine has a bad design and Mercedes copied that too.
