For me it looks like he wanted to let the community look in the mirror :)
So he tried twice? There is an outside chance....but it is so outside that it across the park over the fields and the sea on another continent even in another solar system...no?

There is no doubt he is interested in computer chess. This is the best I can do for him today as we all live in the here and now looking forward not backwards.

Some music to calm everything and some words.

Remember what happened in the past? A commercial author released an engine. Many people spent their money in it. Many experts say it's a clone, post lots of different proves. Noone want to believe it...

Experts know that this commercial guy started by cloning.
However, he improved the thing by at least 200 elo and gave the super strong thing to us free before improving further to commercial.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Yes. All engineauthors who violate the GPL and all users who accept that :)

I dont want to defend him. I just found the reaction of some users quite funny, remembering what they said one year ago when another program was "suspected" (some would say caught).

But as you know: I am not much interested in computerchess anymore :wink:

I spent my money last month in an exclusive with Roma, MM I and MM IV modul. This is much better than an upgrade from 3200 ELO to 3250 ELO :D

Hi,

You should have waited for the DCS or new Phoenix ones :)

If you want nice piece sets for your Exclusive read carefully the interview
with ChessBaron at the Arena page.

Is it then time for Toga to become commercial?

And may be it should disappear.

Experts promised to come back with the smoking gun but they have not delivered (yet). In the meantime, the best approach should be to remain silent. Let's not hijack this thread...

An open discussion of clones is unlikely to disappear now.
It is a while back that the policy was:

"it is fine to discuss clones, but never call a clone a clone".

If Tord is really the original author, keep him informed what you are doing. It is only the problem between you two. Keep the "mob" far from it.
What a sick and sad attitude. No wonder there are illegal clones around when people like you encourage them. You should be ashamed!
Norman said on his web page http://www.chesslogik.com/

"crimson is a new UCI chess engine, partly based on alderon, fruit, and viper."

So, why should I be ashamed ?

Perhaps it is you who should be?

Oh Lord, please don´t let me be misunderstood."
