Günther, I do not have the intention of fighting or to 'gain some attention' or to bring 'certain agenda'. I do not try to speculate or to insult the memory of the computer chess community or try to confront you or anyone else. I can not read the german in schachwerstatt site (http://f50.parsimony.net/forum202220/messages/9359.htm), where a lot of comments are being done about Fafis. I do not find a search mechanism in WBEC Forum. I did a search again on WB forum, and I just find some entry at http://f50.parsimony.net/forum202220/messages/9336.htm Where it proves that Fafis reads commands similarly to Crafty. But it is not proved that the engine itself acts identically. Even the author of the post states "But remember: If an engine 'solves' all positions it is no evidence at all for a clone!! It's just a little hint to take a closer look on it." I did not know about CSS forum or Exacta forum. Maybe you can kindly provide some links on where I can start reading. We all in this community have something in common: We all enjoy in one way or another computer chess. The community is not very large, and your attitude does not seem to be very friendly, but I still respect you. I do software engineering and I enjoy about computer chess. I still feel amazed on how it is possible that a program can be built to solve a puzzle. Especially those dedicated computers that have very limited RAM. I still read the inner working of a chess program and even write to Universities to get certain papers to understand the algorithms better. I respect very much Robert Hyatt, Ed Schroeder and all scientists that are willing to share some of their knowledge with the community. If you read my post again, you will find I care more about 'How it is determined' that a piece of software is a clone, rather than getting into politics and fight over for nothing. If you think you are being insulted, please receive my apologies. Best Regards, Mario Antonio
