Re: Talkchess
The clone detection test provide overwhelming evidence that OpenChess is a TalkChess clone. They use exactly the same board section names: General Topics, Programming and Technical Discussions, Tournaments and Matches. Coincidence? If you'd ask me, I'd say they are guilty.

Re: Talkchess
As a Christ you should know that pretending being sober and consistent, and nevertheless working with proven cloners, taking ideas from donating helpers for "open source crafty", on the bases of 80-90% of the code of forefathers in computerchess, is pure hypocrisy. As Albert showed you are well involved for a hate campaign but being asked you pretend indifference and lack of time and juristication, but why being in all the hate at all? Isnt it true if I concluded that you are only interested to grind an axe with Vas for reasons that remain in the clouds and could be assumed to be very personally motivated?bob wrote: I only know what happened and have participated in discussions proving/discussing/disclosing the particulars. I have no standing to file a court case, and would not be interested in doing so since it is not my program, my problem, or my lack of ethics that led to this mess in the first place. Remember, _I_ did not copy anyone's source. I am just the messenger in this little fracus.
How come that you are so deeply obsessed by Vas and his business when you can well rely on money from university? As I said before, if you were consistent you would ask for the secrets of other business engines too, but you dont. Question is answered, why you are only focussed on Rybka and Vas. He knows something that you cant cope with despite hundreds of public hrelpers for open source Crafty. Again, as a Christ envy should never be the option. If you see something aggreeable in Norman, you should seek it in Vas too, if you have a minimally consistent ethical mind frame.

Don't involve religion elements in the debate....against the charter and ethically not correct to say the least....this approach is of a questionable value and I'll report you if you do it again....Rolf wrote:As a Christ you should know that pretending being sober and consistent, and nevertheless working with proven cloners, taking ideas from donating helpers for "open source crafty", on the bases of 80-90% of the code of forefathers in computerchess, is pure hypocrisy.

Well said Steve.Steve B wrote:good to hear that Jeremeysockmonkey wrote:
You are correct there, and I will honor my commitment and continue to moderate until the end of my term. I never intended to run for a second, so nothing has changed there. However, my focus, and my participation, will be on OpenChess
i am a firm believer that honoring ones commitment is more important then anything else
the board was served well by you during a very contentious period
i still regret that Matthias ..a highly respected member of our community and significant contributor to Computer Chess felt the need to resign above the wishes of the members who elected him
years from now..when the current controversies of the day are long forgotten..all that you will be remember is that you stayed the course..full filled your obligation.. did not quit .and did not kneel to those very vocal few here who consider themselves some sort of self-appointed "protectors of the flame"
Graham has apologized now multiple times....in public..thats more then you can ask of anyone
takes a big man to do that ..no matter how you slice it...
you have returned his gesture by agreeing to say on for the remaining month until the next elections..
Well Done Regards
Steve

Re: Talkchess
How so? Do you think Vas would release his source to them? ICGA is not going to go through the effort of reverse-engineering to prove/disprove this.Graham Banks wrote:Then perhaps that would be the way to settle this long festering issue once and for all?bob wrote:No idea, since I have not participated in one in a long while.

Re: Talkchess
Albert has not "showed" any thing of the kind. You might "imagine" this so-called "hate campaign", but what it really is is nothing more than "a search for the truth". As far as what you "assume" you should look up the usual "ass of U and Me" definition. There's zero personal motivation. If I were "motivated" as you want to claim, I would simply take the time to decompile Rybka myself. Since Vas is not going to clarify this mess, I find it difficult to take issue with the IP* family of programs with no hard evidence supporting the reverse-engineering / clone claims.Rolf wrote:As a Christ you should know that pretending being sober and consistent, and nevertheless working with proven cloners, taking ideas from donating helpers for "open source crafty", on the bases of 80-90% of the code of forefathers in computerchess, is pure hypocrisy.

I'm not obsessed by Vas at all. That seems to be your problem, not mine. I'm only interested in either seeing proof that the IP* programs are clones or else seeing the persecution stop. I've said this many times previously, if envy were the issue, would I not have been on Hsu's case as well? I beat him fewer times (zero, in fact) than I have beaten Rybka. So perhaps your "envy" comment is a bit off base, eh? Certainly would not be the first time, would it?
