Well, whoever complained had to give the organisators a good reason to make the
author show the source code. As far as I remember it was the suspicion that the
engine contains crafty code.
The author choose not to show is sources, which could have been done by sending
a single email, but choose to be excluded from all future chomputer chess
tournaments.

Maybe we can leave this to Paul H for another interesitng project. :)
