The Home Site of Ippolit and the others...

Post by fern »

Without denoying the huge capabilities of those programs and without making claims about a cloning action as well, the place where those programs are found is clearly the product of an insane bunch of madmen and/or with a freak sense of humor.
I have not been capable of getting much sense of much of what is said there, said by the "decembrist".
As you know, historically speakin, decembrists was a bunch of russian officer trying to push some reformation of zarism in the middle of XIX century. They were crushed and that was the end until the bolsheviks took the torch.
Someone has more infor about this guy or guys?

I think the key word is "humour"

I suspect that the convoluted writings on that page come from someone with a good grasp of English, and a monty-pythonesque sense of humour.

Fern,

Don't be so quick to push the trigger:

The 'Decembrists' are the large group of 'workers' that help create and test the public beta versions, and furthered the development of RobboLito as we know it today. most of the activity took place on the immortal chess forum. the testing and development took place from Sep. thru December 2009... culminationg with the release of RobboLito version 0.085g3 right before "X-Mas", hence the term 'Decembrist'.

if interested, there is a list of 'comrades workers' available at chesslogik.com

Posted before but deleted by bolshewiks, rotogravure of Decembrist revolutionaries. Vasik in the know! Vincent Diepreveen claiming there are really three groups all working on different code bases all based on Rybka originally. Hence I thought the "overtricycled" mentioned by 'Yakov', if it is not just the comparative Rushglish of "recycled". Is it some sort of triad cell structure in the revolutionary movement? I would have to look up my copy of "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert Heinlein where he writes about organizing the moon's revolutionary movement in autonomous cells, if there was some similar double redundancy cell structure mentioned, maybe also in the American Revolution? I don't know if this number includes the "Toby Tal" group.

Oh, those Russians... (Boney-M, "Rasputin").
I went through the Rybka code forwards and backwards and took many things.
