So what is new here that makes some posters think Rybka is illegal?
1. Strelka 1.8 gives almost identical output to Rybka 1.0. You can see that on my similarity graph poste in this thread, and Uri's examples.

2. Vasik personally claimed Strelka 2.0 sources as his own. Funny.

You are confused. Mr Rybka and Fabien are disputing Strelka´s code.
I told you I was confused.

I repeat: what new is there as an evidence for many posters here that Rybka is a stolen work.
The newest one is that Rybka´s codes suddenly became lost ( or deleted), and cannot be examined by experts anymore.

Bob,

We never really met, so, nice to meet you!
I am sorry that many people apparently did not listen to you.

Fabien.

Of course he lies. That just shows he is not honest.
You are just sour he took you for a fool. But remember who was the fool! :lol:
Again, your reasoning is morally incompetent.

Congratulations to the both of you : just by try and fail method you gave an acceptable definition of cynicism. :)

Hi Fabien,

it was one of the best interviews I ever made. Without my girlfiend not possible, helps me with my bad English. The answers from the Stockfish team are just great. I am very lucky in this time that Tord, Joona and Marco made it with me and gave so many nice information.

Yes, I can send a mail what I read between the lines in our interview :-)
But I don't have your mail address!

If you have time for it:
Please write me:

THANKS!
Best for you whatever you do!

Frank

Now, if Strelka is Fruit 2.1 derivative, as Fabien implies, then...

Gabor asked for something new.
