In early december Vasik already had the source code of the last version of Strelka. He himself wrote about this in rybkaforum.
Vas: Vast sections of these sources started their life as a decompiled Rybka 1.0.
If this is true then I am a genius. Thanks for the compliments.
Vas: The traces of this are everywhere.
Everyone who looked at the source code of Strelka came to conclusion that "everywhere" there is traces of Fruit. Or Rybka contains Fruit too?
Vas: The board representation is identical...
It's easy to see that "board representation is identical" to Fruit with changing some parts to bitboard.
Vas: ... and all sorts of absolutely unique Rybka code methods, bitboard tricks...
Noone found in Strelka some unique code methods or bitboard tricks. Just the contrary, everyone is thinking that there is nothing unusual or outstanding.
Vas: ... and even exact data tables are used throughout.
If he means the data tables from emater.c file, there is no such data tables in Rybka -- I have checked it. And everyone can check it scanning Rybka's exe. In Strelka there is no other big data tables.
Vas: Significant portions of the search and evaluation logic are not fully disassembled...
Then how it works if it is not fully disassembled?
Vas: ... he hasn't yet fully understood what is happening.
I guess, everyone understood the logic of the program (except me and Vasik may be?)
Vas: Rybka's UCI string are used throughout.
I'm not a masochist to disassemble UCI-block of Rybka when there is fine written Fruit.
Vas: The author did at first make attempts to hide the Rybka origins, for example by masking the table values in earlier Strelka versions.
Does it mean that source code of the earlier versions of Streka was known to Vasik? Then why he kept silence for so long?
After this there is a paragraph about differences between Strelka and Rybka. And again -- differences are found "everywhere". Question: what is more -- differences or identities?
Vas: In light of the above, I am claiming Strelka 2.0 as my own and will release it in the next few days under my own name.
Your welcome. I had not declared anywhere nor I had registered the copyright of Strelka. I had not restricted the use of Strelka with no any licenses. So everybody can declare himself as the author of Strelka. You can claim yourself as Napoleon too, if you wish so.
Vas: The name of the author with the pen name "Osipov" will be included...
How can I prove that me is me? How can I prove that I'm existing in real, and my real name is Yuri Ivanovich Osipov? I can show my ID-card. Or may be arrange a confrontation.
Vas: However, 'Osipov' has already threatened to repeat the procedure with Rybka 2.3.2a.
When I was talking about such thing?
Vas: He did this after I declined to grant him rights to commercialize Strelka.
I never intent to release commercial Strelka. Convekta has had such an idea, but this idea got Vasik's veto. I have no any relation with this. And I have absolutely no regrets that this project was not carried out. I preffer to be free person.
Vas: ... if someone has information about 'Osipov', please get in touch with me.
Vasik, accept my invitation and be my guest. Come, I'll be glad to meet you, to talk and to drink some cup of tea together. I am absolutely ordinary person, not Monte Cristo.
