For ChessBase this means: Move Limit = 240 For LokaSoft: Max Moves in Game = 160 ----------------- I will try to ...

Well, that is what I mean. Of course I would not enter the 100 engines under my own name. I have many nephews... :wink: One phone call, a couple of technical questions will do. Look... this kind of things are not the problem. Chess programmers are usually not the dumbest people on the planet, there...

Has anyone combed through Ed's software? It makes one wonder. I don't know what is up with Ed, but his program is clearly original and he is a brilliant and hard working programmer. I guess he just thinks there is a new generation of programmer who shouldn't have to be bothered with originality or ...

There is no hypocrisy, you are continuing to propagate the unfair and yes, dishonest, straw-man argument that if you use any idea that is in another program then you are plagiarizing .

It's not about Vas this time. It's about the 2009 disaster to fair play, Ippo and friends, FREEWARE.

Ed is suggesting that it's just plain ok to take anybody's program as a starting point and start your own chess project from that, WITHOUT any regard to the rule of law or the licensing or the feelings of those who did not want their own work plagiarized. I pointed out (above) that this is not allo...

If you want to work on app servers, you can join an existing project like Tomcat. If you want to work on compilers, you can join the GCC project and contribute improvements. If you want to work on operating systems you can become a Linux comitter. I don't think anyone would consider you a second-ra...
