Hello,

>As far as I know we have a chessprogram that is (until a few days ago) being
>sold by a company led by a known German computerchess enthusiast.

This is not quite true. Patriot 2.0 was not sold yet.

>if someone begins to
>sell something that then the product should have been tested. That is a
>neccessary process beyond all friendship and trust.

Yes, thats what was done. During the Patriot betatest it was discovered to be a
clone.

>Why do you now insist in asking such questions to the author of the (actual)
>program that has been reveiled as a clone?

Because the programmer still want to make the people believe the programm is not
a clone. So I asked him for comments to the evidences.

>If this should be some justice debate to prepare something, why can't this happen via email?

Yes, such things should be done by mail. The reason to publish the evidence was
that Vladimir stated he wants to sell his (IMHO illegal) program on his own. I
didn't decide this on my own, also Frank and most important Fabien wanted me to
publish it. BTW: You can see the reason on my site:

"I don’t want anyone to earn money with the hard work of others, so now I have
to show some of the proves:"

You didn`t follow the history, right? Patriot 1.3.0 was sold, but so far there
are speculations, but no evidence, after my tests even no hint, that it could be
a clone. It is for sure no Fruit clone.

Patriot 2.0 was discovered to be a clone, and the distributor did the best what
he can do: No more marketing for Patriot 2.0, taking Patriot 1.3.0 away from the
shop.

>The faults of the company are easy to be seen. IMO.

Please take a closer look...

Best,
Alex
