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.

Chess960 is back !!

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."
