Well, there is a horse somewhere in there in the code

I can assure you it's not...

PS - I just updated the download archive to include a 64-bit version that should run in Linux via wine, but it's not well tested.

The executable compressed with MPRESS causes that some antivirus jump the alarms...

Apart and following fashion , the similarity is completely isolated from Fire 3 and very close to Stockfish, specifically version 6.

Ed Schröder wrote about sim test results in 2014:
"In general one can say that 60% and higher is a sign of non-originality, 65% and higher being a strong sign of cloning, that the grey area is from 55-60% and any engine below 55% has passed the test, meaning just a first indication of originality."
