You can throw out Raubfisch. His author wrote in another forum that he is not ready to give his own code to others. Even so, he keeps releasing new versions with public downloads. He's always stealing. He also stole codes from SugaR AI.AlexChess wrote: ↑Wed Dec 29, 2021 1:51 pmI try AGAIN to contact Amenophis asking to release his modified Raubfisch SF source code. If not, I remove it from my SuperBlitz. I have never been able in reaching Fisherov authors, but if I will remove Raubfisch, I will remove all not GPLv3 compliant engines. Omar Khalid has already switched to ShashChess and SugaR support and I can then remove Eman. But I keep all legal SF derivatives.mehmet123 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 29, 2021 1:08 pmThis rule change should start on the Talkchess Forum.

But now I don't think these chess engines have any plans to be an open source engine. I think the number of these engines will decrease if no tester tests these chess engines that violates GPL rules and Playchess and other platforms does not allow people to use these chess engines.
I'm skeptical about PlayChess. Chessbase company have made a significant amount of money by just adding a new NNUE net to Stockfish.

Re: Kayra 1.1
Done!
Removed ALL not GPLv3 | MIT compliant engines from my running SuperBlitz in BanksiaGUI.
Raubfisch, Fisherov, Eman, AI-15, KillFish, Zeus11 and Alpha SubZero ...to meet open source community wishes.
Now challengers are 66 instead of 73.
Soon updating also the crosstable (I must complete remaining 132 games for each engine)
Best regards, Alex

The GUI (in alpha stage and looks quite hacked together) and names three 'authors', either you are one them and did a little bit of work with the others, or you more likely you faked another person by omitting a part of the name.

Re: Kayra 1.1
The GUI was at a early stage, because in that year I have changed my job as boring asp.net web site developer
I have lost the sources after 30+ years.
All I could do to demostrate my good faith is done. Now please stop insulting me. I have also updated my profile with my real name.

Untouched image.
https://www.chessprogramming.org/Luca_Dormio I'm happy that he is even on chess programming wiki, he was already very skilled.
As you can see I have attributed to him his central work.

It was adapted to my rudimental GUI not wb compatible, ask Luca. 20 years ago I was at beginnings. (I'm trying to contact him, if you find his email. I cannot find my Tiscali web space ftp login data after so many years, but I can show my identity from the control panel of Tiscali web provider) Then please stop insulting me.

Your bar for insult is too low, nobody has insulted you. And the low quality image you shared doesn't prove anything really.

Please stop reading/posting/insulting me.
Do you think to be so superior and skilled to insult and ridicule other TC members?
I will never abandon this forum mia sponte, as already said.

Re: Kayra 1.1
An excellent analogy. However, in this case, even less effort is required as creating a replica is as easy as copy-pasting... It's really exasperating to watch such low effort clones receive so much attention from these clueless "fans".op12no2 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 29, 2021 12:06 pmWRT 2...op12no2 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 29, 2021 11:43 am I would suggest the reality is more that: 1. people get understandably annoyed when licences are violated and 2. people are utterly bewildered at the enthusiastic reception of engines created with virtually no creative or intellectual effort.
Obviously engine derivatives can be interesting and useful and nobody would disagree.
Imagine a robot wars competition season that had no equivalent of a licence. At some point somebody makes a replica of the winning robot, changes a few trivial things, paints it a different colour, renames it and enters it into the season. Imagine further that a certain group of robot wars enthusiasts who don't really understand mechanics and even "don't care about the source" spend a great deal of time enthusing about this new robot: "a new star is born". Can you understand why the original developers who put thousands of hours of creative effort into their robot would be, at least, a little bewildered and frustrated and wonder what on earth was the point? Why are these fans enthusing over what is essentially clone, even though the original developers have make it clear that is the case? Why are these fans now booing the original robot developers for pointing that out. The new robot may even win a season and win other mini wars organised by fans. The original developers mention "statistics" and that's it - "Pah!, in my test of 2000 encounters the new robot won more then the original". "In my "opinion" the new robot is better". The original developers say "fuck it" and go to the pub.
