Olivier is a nice guy but I can not support any community that supports and even encourages the behavior of Chris Conkie.
There are many others who shares the same feeling as you..
About what, Tony ?
How many engines did you successfully unveil as clones ?
Olivier
I was talking about Chris, he is rather abrasive. I have not uncovered any engine as a clone, but that's irrelevant.
This is very much relevant.
People who are capable of telling if an engine is a clone when asked are very useful to the chess community. And Chris is one of them. They are very few.

The day Chris Conkie started stealing my private emails he lost all credibility to me. The fact that I had nothing to hide is irrelevant as it is a privacy issue. Although it was not you directly the community on your chat server supported and encouraged this behavior from Chris. There are plenty of other people who are of good character and integrity in computer chess that are more qualified to tell you if an engine is a clone or not.
Please gentlemen do stop this now.
You are both among the most appreciated people in the community.
One likes Chris , the other doesn't.
This has nothing related to the fact that Olivier's tournamemts are among the best ones and that latest Fruit's public apparitions are so spare.
So please do come to an agreement and let's see Fruit playing!
