So where do you think Sergei Markoff (SmarThink author) stands in all of this Christopher? :wink:

I note that the photo of Markoff and Osipov together is no longer there.

One could speculate.....

One could say that it's odd that Osipov cannot improve what he made. Maybe he was asked to disassemble Rybka by someone? Far be it for me to stick my neck out. I am a reserved shy character as you know and would not like to put ideas into your head. I would never do such a thing knowing how you are easily affected you are by injustice. You might start that deleting crap again. You did ask although.......

I still have it.

:D

I keep everything.

Perhaps you'd care to show us the photo of Markoff and Osipov just for memory's sake?

I might add that reading the Strelka threads in the Russian forum linked to makes quite disturbing reading.
Seems like a lot of them are in this Strelka thing together using the excuse that Vas ripped off Fruit bigtime in the first place anyway. :(

SmarThinka
Moveiika
Wildcatka

More on the wayka.......

Graham...I said I keep everything. I dd not say I could find it again. I know its here because I looked at it the other day.

The reason why I have it is because of the position on the board in the game they are "playing".

:wink:

I will remember soon where it is. Let's hope you are not desperate as its 2am here.

You can be sure that no moveiika is going to play there.
Movei is certainly not based on strelka and my interest is in understanding
and not in modifying existing source without understanding.

I do not think that the ideas behind strelka are the best and I think that there are clearly better ideas but I think that you need to understand code of other in order to compare and ignoring known information is a mistake.

No urgency. I wonder why it's no longer available from the link.
