I do consider the theory that the initial working code base of Ippolit was another engine, like Kaissa, as not bad. Indeed I think it is quite likely, taking into account the many differences that have been found between Ippolit and R3, that parts of the Rybka search and/or evaluation might have been incorporated into a different working code base via disassembling, with several adaptations and also many changes of course. I mentioned that possibility in the past already but did not get too much feedback at that time. What would make this really doable IMO is the fact that Ippolit and R3 have (according to the "BB" paper) a very similar, although not identical, board representation based on rotated bitboards.Alexander Schmidt wrote:Well if this accusation is allowed in the public forum, I attach importance to post some defending details also in public. I know it is all discussed, no need to discuss it again. Move it to EOF if you like, but take the initial accusation with it.
Here are some details:
I am always talking about the differences between Ippolit and Rybka, I want to show some details.
Maybe my work encourages someone to proof me wrong. I would be happy about a critical factual discussion.
This is not meant as an evidence that Ippolit is no clone of Rybka, but it shows that the engines are different enough to ask for a proof if someone says it's a clone.
After all I am sure Ippolit is NOT based on a decompiled Rybka. In another thread I showed why I think the roots are Kaissa from Vladimir Yelin. BTW it would be a hard challange to decompile Rybka 3, translate the decompiled version to something understandable, and improve the engine along the way by 100 ELO in a half year.
I can not exclude the possibility that parts of Rybka are inside Ippolit. I am thinking about Rybkas so called tables. But they are also in Strelka, it should be easy for an expert to find them in Ippolit. Maybe something else, but who can be sure it is "stolen"? Maybe it is only the idea that was taken, since Strelka many secrets of Rybka are public.
You have already posted that part in the past, nothing new so far. I recall that I replied to it, but never mind, here is my reply again from my current viewpoint:Alexander Schmidt wrote: But now to the promised facts
<details omitted here>
"Zero details" is as imprecise as possible. This was part of my post that I linked to above:bob wrote:I believe that I responded to your post back then point by point also. Your "refutation" offers _zero_ details. And I _do_ mean _zero_. When we started the analysis, we were comparing rybka binary to fruit source, and since the binary is stripped of symbols, and since it is in asm, it takes some work to go from asm back to C. And that code was posted here. And there were howls of protest because our goal was to take the binary and map it directly back to C that matches fruit. I tried to point out that C to binary is a many-to-one mapping, as there are many ways to code up an algorithm where the source looks completely different but the binary is identical. Students try this all the time by changing variable names, procedure names, switching from a for loop to a while loop, and so forth. So going blindly from asm to C is not helpful, but _if_ you ask the question, "Can I use this assembly code, in its entirety without adding instructions or having any left over, and map it back to the exact C source in fruit?" then the answer was yes in more than one instance, the first was the main loop where commands are read and the infamous do_parse() procedure is called.Sven Schüle wrote:These percentages are very plausible for me. I don't know whether many non-programmers can follow but nevertheless I suggest to all interested members to reread what I already posted five weeks ago on that topic (EO subforum). Read especially my quite detailled comments on each of the points from Zach's pages under the heading "My details". If I had to match these 11 points with the 40-40-20 estimate by Vas then I would perhaps come to similar numbers as he did.
One note @Zach here: for me claiming that something is "wrong", or "standard CC concept" does not mean anything about your competence, and also nothing personal. I just try to keep as objective as possible. If someone would make 4 wrong statements out of 11 then this does not turn him "incompetent" at all. Just to let you know. EDIT: I see no reason why Vas should view this differently.
If you don't accept any of that, that's your choice. But there _is_ ample evidence to show that code was copied. It is not about how much was copied, it is about was _any_ copied, and the answer is most certainly "yes". It is time to get out from behind this false cover of "not too much" or "just a little". One more time, you can't be just a little bit pregnant. Ideas are not the same as code. We are talking about _code_.
Another new excuse is "Rybka is bitboard, fruit is not, can't be copied". Baloney. Much of my early evaluation was not bitboard since I have always maintained a mailbox copy of the board to make it easy to figure out what piece is on a particular square. And I converted that code directly to bitboard code later. Are you _really_ saying that is not copied. When I copy A to B, then modify B to use a different board representation, and now B is not a copy of A. That's convoluted thinking, to be kind about it.
What if the robo* guys convert from bitboards? Are they _also_ OK by this definition, even though it looks more and more like they are already OK, based on continually arriving data.
Code: Select all
piece square tables:
- I can see no similar code, just similar values used
pawn_get_info():
- I can see no similar code, just ideas may have been reused
eval_piece():
- "Rybka code" may look similar but is a bitboard translation with several other changes, so only ideas were reused but no literal code copying
eval_king():
- using a flag that defines whether king safety is used or not is a common idea that many programs share, and its existence in R1 does not prove copying of code but just reusing an idea
- attacks evaluation is a bitboard translation, so the code is changed => only idea reused
- final score calculation: one source line is shown that contains the same idea in R1 as in Fruit but has 3 changes in R1, so no unchanged literal code copying
- shelter: implementations show look quite similar BUT Zach states that this code is not present in Rybka binary but is "an equivalent" created manually by Zach so this can be ZERO proof for anything
"All of this shelter evaluation code in Rybka above is an equivalent; it doesn't appear in the Rybka binary. It is there simply to illustrate what is in the precomputed tables. These precomputed tables are used during the pawn evaluation to quickly evaluate shelters."
- storm: very different code, only same ideas
eval_passer():
- "Rybka code" presented looks very different, just ideas may have been reused
eval_pattern():
- common ideas but completely different implementations
material:
- implementations of "MatKingFlag", "DrawBishopFlag", and game phase look quite similar
=> assembler code of R1 should be shown to prove that the code shown as "Rybka" is really in R1, and not part of Strelka source only (which would not prove anything)

A person's honor/reputation is very important.
If I'm correct, countries even went to war over honor/reputation.

There will only be a problem if Vas decides to sue him, which I think is pretty doubtful. {read:no way there will be a problem}oreopoulos wrote:I wonder, did you get permission to publish private emails?

Dear readers,
in case someone is interested, please find below the full contents of an email dialogue I had with Vasik Rajlich during the past two days.
