Yes, but I don't believe obfuscated Rybka output was to hide its probable similarity to Fruit -- IIRC Rybka beta was searching significantly different number of NPS that contemporary Fruit and the moves it chose was different than Fruit's -- so the reason of obfuscation lays in other place, I think.Tony Thomas wrote:It's quite simple really..none of them has a bootleg node count..If Rybka had showed the real node count and real PV, I doubt that anyone would have went in depth with Rybka in the first place.Rolf wrote:You twist the topic.

I ask for commercial programs. Not the many amateur clones you've discovered.
But it's true too that at that time noone knew the real numbers so it's quite understandable that suspicions arose.
