Posting Tournament results with some clones playing

Post by mhalstern »

Is it against policy, or frowned upon to post tournament results where clones, or alleged clones are some of the engines participating?

Nobody seems to have batted an eyelid previously, so you're probably okay. If you want to be absolutely sure, send a pm to one of the mods.

Cheers,

Thanks,

The tourney should be finished Late Wednesday, or early Thursday.

Just a note I need to share. I've purchased copies of the engines that the clones were alleged to have been derived from and I will always purchase and encourage others to purchase new versions. As a matter of science and curiosity, I download and test the suspect versions.
