A few facts.......a competition......and a prize.......

Post by Christopher Conkie »

1/. Crimson 1.0 and 1.1 were cut down Viper clones.
2/. Crimson 0.1 is not the same engine as 1.0 & 1.1 (ie it is not Viper).
3/. Crimson 0.1 = Demon 1.0, and that's a fact (as they are exactly the same).

Competition

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to examine and compare the Demon 1.0 source code......

http://www.chesslogik.com/demon_1.0.rar

.....with all other open source code chess engines there are.

The one who finds at least 20% of the code elsewhere first, wins.

Prize

Cyclone 4.6

Now you can't say fairer than that, can you?

;-)

What is this "Demon" that I keep seeing mentioned? Never heard of it (not that I want it).

Cheers,

It's on his website. As I said it was called Crimson 0.1 before.

Demon 1.0 = Crimson 0.1

The source is there. Now all you need to do is match that up with something else if you can.

Any joy yet? Surely the temptation of Cyclone 4.6 is to much to resist?
