Yes, it is another clone. No reason to waste your time with it, especially since the known version that fluctuates in the web contains a virus which can be used by the 'author' to highjack you computer. I would not be surprised if several people here in the forum have a nasty guest on their computer :!:

It's not even a multi-processor engine.

Kingzilla looks to me like a Rybka clone, then again I only have the beta version to compare. However, I did remember reading about some sort of time settings and they were in Kingzilla, so I deleted the engine right away.

Don't have it, and don't want - like Rocket which it appears to be, in new clothing. Clone? What else?
