You do not include the readme with the source code.
That is why I expressed surprise.
That was my only objection.

I do not say that your program is a TSCP clone, only that it has clear inspiration from TSCP. And for that reason it is good to offer a note in the heritage of the program. Clearly you have done that.

My only suggestion is to include the readme file also in the source code.

Ok, I will do that, i just did not include the readme so far in the src package, because
i thought, that regarding the information that it contains it is more relevant to be located in the executable ones. I appreciate your suggestion and i intent to comply with it. Thanks!

Thank you.I won't. I think everybody has right to express personal opinion and i should be prepare for all type of it.
Yesterday i found out from Olivier Deville that Pawny is the first engine from Bulgaria, i'm really glad for that. Well not yet stronger than Veselin Topalov, but maybe like Vesko Topalov on age 8. :P
