one final thread on robolito....in all fairness

Post by ozziejoe »

I do not mean to start some sort of argument again, but i have tried earnestly to find the report or argument that Robolito is a clone, and with no success. I am sorry i came in late in the argument, but can somebody please present the evidence that it is a clone? Maybe i missed it in an earlier post?

I have consistently sided with moderators in the past and have been supportive of Vas and the work he's done with Rybka, but this current situation involving Robolito seems odd. I would think that if one was going to ban an engine from being tested or from being listed on talkchess, there would be a clear argument as to why it is a clone. All i've found on the web are arguments that it is not a clone.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Sigh...

There is plenty of circumstantial evidence that it is a clone. This evidence has been presented again and again in the other threads. It would be completely pointless to repeat it once more.

Whether or not the moderators allow links to RobboLito is irrelevant. People that want to use it can easily find it.

Everything has been said. Let us please move on.

Graham Banks got the point somewhere else:

that are uttered. "Is it a clone?"
Not getting at you personally Eduard as you're just the first to ask on this
occasion.
Must be really sickening to the program author though. You'd expect some praise
I would think for developing such a monster.
