Hi Ed,ed wrote:In an honest world you are absolutely right.
Compare the situation you going for high placed position in society, I am sure you would not object your credentials are checked, a normal and general accepted procedure. Your future boss wouldn't hire you if you have a criminal record. And so it is in this case. The past has shown too much betray and a checking procedure is needed to keep the computer chess community clean.
In Cologne 1986 I had to hand over my sources to the ballotage commission in order to enter the WCCC. It was not funny, but hey, not the end of the world either.

this is perfectly ok, if you play official icga tournaments like world championships. But if some experienced russian programmer offers a free engine, this is another issue. Especially if a honored programmer like Sergei S. Markoff acts as a guarantor, that it is very likely original work.
So far i saw a lot of public premature suspicions here, very unfriendly tone or even chauvinism against Sergei or russians in general. I agree with Rolf and Fernando about the reverse justice as well.
Cheers,
Gerd

He still has a site that distributes every (and i really mean every) commercial chess engine.Tony Thomas wrote:He used to have a site that supplied clones. Isnt that enough?GenoM wrote:Hey Christopher

All Lokasoft.
All ChessBase
All Convekta.
He has a forum also that distributes private engines that he was never given.
He distributes in that very thread an engine called "Rocket" which he claims is a new version.
"Rocket" is nothing more than Rybka.

Re: To put everything into place with Strelka
Tony i am not native english speaker but even i understand that there is difference between 'cloner' and 'software pirate'
So my advise to Christofer was to use correct words but he didnt listen to me

This is not correct that infinite=analysisDaniel Mehrmann wrote:infinite == analyzeSergei Markoff wrote:Simply using search with infinite (or almost infinite) time.Daniel Mehrmann wrote:Ok, please tell me about your practise work in this cases.
If you analyzing a game played by Movei and you're walking through new variants to look on what happend there , maybe changing stuff in search, doing the same again and again and again. You know what i mean how this process works
How do you do that ?
Then you need to support a lot of WB2 commands like "?", "force", "undo" during running search...
A lazy boy, like me, i'm lazy as well , would not add it because it more complicated as the easy analyze run
I don't know much about you, but it seems that you're not a brother of "Mr. Spock"
But its ok of course, its just a choose of taste.
Best whishes,
Daniel
ps: My engine has a different handling between analyze mode and infinite search btw (most common technical stuff), so i wouldn't get same results...
in infinite mode the engine is going to play when it finds mate or get the maximal depth or in book.
In analysis mode it is not going to do it.
I implemented ? and force even before implementing analysis.

If Brian Hoffman makes an executable, he will clearly know it is not a clone and that will end all questions.Uri Blass wrote:I disagree.Christopher Conkie wrote:That's up to you. Until then Strelka is over too.Sergei Markoff wrote:The talk is over.
A photo of someone pointing at a laptop does not cut it.
If you know that Strelka is an original work (I hope so too) then there are some questions that need answered by some supporting evidence.
You can see many programmers here wonder about what is known due to others efforts and those questions have not been answered at all.
Regards
Christopher
I am sure that sergei convinced part of the posters that strelka is not a clone.
He also changed my opinion about it(I am not claiming to know that it is not a clone but the probability that I give to the claim that it is a clone was reduced to less than 50%)
People are free to decide if to test it in games.

Hi Gerd,
I disliked it very much when I was forced to handover my sources back in 1986. Suppose I hadn't done it (and it's certainly against my rebellious nature to comply to demands) and this fact would have become public knowledge when I entered the commercial market as it happened back then about 5-6 months later, can you imagine the gossip and suspect?
Fortunately I had a good advisor in the person of Jan Louwman who convinced me to give in. Meaning to say, sometimes you have to be a bit flexible and pragmatic in life. And that's the advice I am giving the Russian programmer. It would be a shame if the name of his engine would be contaminated forever because of some temporarily feelings pride and stubbornness. And that's not worth the trouble on long term.
Real justice is in heaven, not on planet Earth.
