18th WORLD COMPUTER CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT RULES
2. Each program must be the original work of the entering developers. Programming teams whose code is derived from or including game-playing code written by others must name all other authors, or the source of such code, in the details of their submission form. Programs which are discovered to be close derivatives of others (e.g., by playing nearly all moves the same), may be declared invalid by the Tournament Director after seeking expert advice. For this purpose a listing of all game-related code running on the system must be available on demand to the Tournament Director.

So I assume this is one of the written rules Vas broke. I was reading this over and trying to understand it all.
So many opinions and so much info that I am interested in, it is very aggravating to try to close the book on all of this. I will keep reading the posts. Would be funny if Chessbase and Vas released a Rybka 5. Not sure what to think about Dan's posts, it seems like Dan is trying to block out some info. This is what the Rybka fanboys were doing.
Oh well not sure where all of this is going from here.
Dont think Vas has any of his prize money left, long gone.
