The whole story is more like a full history. You arrived too late. You are like
a guy saying " I have heard nothing about Titanic, what happened to it?" Well,
this is too long to reduce, but maybe we can say that a long discussion followod
Bionic appearance as much some people thought it was not very ethical to win a
tournament with a program that supposedly is scarcely something more than Crafty
and made use of a tehcnique that gave to it an enourmous advantage. From there
followed a weually loing thread about what should be a parameter to stablish a
difference between a program and his father-program. And so and so.
Take a look at post posted 3 to 4 weeks ago.
