It is not, if you have written it yourself. For this single line it is hard to prove, so you would probably get away with it, unless there were eye witnesses present when you copied the code. However, if your code starts to look exactly like this, you are in trouble :-) // constants and variables static /* const */ int PieceActivityWeight = 256; // 100% static /* const */ int KingSafetyWeight = 256; // 100% static /* const */ int PassedPawnWeight = 256; // 100% static const int KnightUnit = 4; static const int BishopUnit = 6; static const int RookUnit = 7; static const int QueenUnit = 13; static const int MobMove = 1; static const int MobAttack = 1; static const int MobDefense = 0; static const int KnightMobOpening = 4; static const int KnightMobEndgame = 4; static const int BishopMobOpening = 5; static const int BishopMobEndgame = 5; static const int RookMobOpening = 2; static const int RookMobEndgame = 4; static const int QueenMobOpening = 1; static const int QueenMobEndgame = 2; static const int KingMobOpening = 0; static const int KingMobEndgame = 0; static const bool UseOpenFile = true; static const int RookSemiOpenFileOpening = 10; static const int RookSemiOpenFileEndgame = 10; static const int RookOpenFileOpening = 20; static const int RookOpenFileEndgame = 20; static const int RookSemiKingFileOpening = 10; static const int RookKingFileOpening = 20; Bo Persson
