thank you too for your tests and rating list and helped me fixed bugs

i say i will pause, not stop for everytime, and maybe come back later...but at the moment i am very angry and tired of computerchess.

it's more a shame today there are more and more clones out and many tournament manager are include those engines into his rating lists, much people looking only for the strength of an engine and not for the playing style or other futures too.

what we are get at the end of this story ?
1000 clone engine that are over 3000 elo ?

poor computer szene....

Well, the plagiarism has always existed in all the areas of knowledge, not just computer chess. Computer chess is just a microworld and this forum is like a microscopic part of that microworld.

I do not care about works of doubtful origin and that is applied to this microworld.

Don't take me bad, but there are always and there will be always exogenous factors that you can't control: cloning or plagiarism or whatever you want to call it, is one of them.

Retiring your engine so suddenly doesn't punish the cloners or plagiarist: It is punishing yourself.

All this computer world is weird no matters how you look it.

Good luck during your break.
