Sorry. I should have written 2 different postings. I mixed up two messages in 2
posting.
Message 1 is: Rybka uses PVS (or Alpha-Beta) and not MTD(). This refers to
discussions I found in the archive, where Vasik Rajlich mentioned that he uses
in his programm MTD().

Message 2 is: I have looked in the code and found no direct similarieties with
Fruit. Both use PVS, but almost all programms (besides SOS) use PVS. Thats no
argument for a clone and of course no argument that is no clone.
According my inspections are the board-representation, the movegenerator, the
eval and also the search different. Its unavoidable that there are some general
techniques like PVS in common. Every programm builds on the known start of the
art.
