I don't know why we have to go thru this _again_, but here we go... They received a complaint and that together with circumstancial evidence "forced" the TDs to investigate the case further. (by looking at the source, talk with the author and whatnot) He didn't cooperate with them and therefore broke the rules or the tournament. Therefore he was disqualified from the tournament. It's as simple as that. In this context it doesn't matter at all, whether the author or other engines would have done that or not. If you partipate in a tournament, you have to accept the rules. If you don't accept them, don't participate. >But try to imagine how you would feel if you knew that you have a prog >that is the opposite of a Crafty clone WITHOUT the famous bitboards?

I would have accepted the rules of the tournament (if I would have joined the tournament in first place) and act accordingly. >Only two programmers had a reason to become unhappy about the strong >LIST.
