Example: You find a new engine and the engine is very good what do you make. I look in my CC database and search the engine. I try to find out more about the engine! Bob had written: "If you see a strong program that doesn't participate anywhere, something is up, in at least 99% of the cases." A good comment! Reason enough to add the older review because you have to know that not only programmers read this forum. A lot of persons are happy for each information about programs. Perhaps you understand now why I have add the older review! We speak here about a chess programmer with more as 20 years have knowledge about programming (Eugenio). >What is being discussed is the binary ElChinito.exe, and that it was built using >Crafty code (including the wrong [buggy] Crafty code).

It is still a copy. What's even worse is if the BWM engine has a >bad design and Mercedes copied that too. You can find to each case a good example! For a pro and a contra position!
