Can one of our German speakers explain this thread. I think this guy claims Convekta emailed the source code of Rybka to him!?

And a reply suggests he puts it on ebay!?

However I do not see why Convekta would have the source code.

Hi,

as you can read here http://www.f23.parsimony.net/forum50826 ... 168161.htm he deleted the code and and the test.exe ... (try this http://de.babelfish.yahoo.com/ to translate it)

And the suggest to sell it on ebay seems to me was a joke (german humour is often very difficult to understand).

It is a joke for sure - and it was Dutch humour not German

Hello Computerschacher,

Recently also I received my update from Rybka, which differs however very strongly from the past update form. In the appendix of the email following files and file were:

A file named Project, a file named Debug and a file named the releases.
In the Project file was a Solution with further Unterordnern, in which some DLL's and a Rybka source code are. Whether it concerns here the original source code of Rybka, I cannot judge. One finds Weterhin in the file Debug a lauff?ge Rybka engine, which has somewhat more kilobytes, as those the Rybka engines in the release file. Further a quite strange program is to be found in the release file. It calls itself Test.exe. With the Ausf?en of the program one gets a quite un?rsichtliche input mask, with which one can test apparently Engines. Here a listing of the files:

autosave.txt
Chess.dll
Chess.pdb
Chess.xml
Shared.exe
Test.exe
Test.pdb
Test.vshost.exe
Tester processing control DLL
Tester processing Controls.pdb
Tester dialogue DLL
Utils.dll
Utils.pdb
XControls.dll
XControls.pdb

Now my question. Really inadvertently should the source code and a dazugeh?ge test environment have been sent to me by Rybka, - as I am to now react? To the selling written email remained so far unanswered. Did one of you likewise get this amusing "update" by email?

Well, well, well the boo-boys from the Rybka forum Harvey and Uri. What is Jessica's nick here? This is a big hoax and no one should take unsubtantiated allegations seriously.

No need to start up any personal stuff John.
I'm pretty sure most people see it as a hoax.

How many threads is Harvey going to start on this on how many different forums? If it was up to me this thread should be deleted or renamed to show its all unfounded allegations. Everybody knows that if you recieve unsolicited mail containing exe's they are viruses/trojans.
