Everyone with interest in the Rybka / clones issue should give this a look, because if this is found to be true, alot of people are going to look and feel really stupid! I guess time and the truth will tell, we'll see. Very interesting! Chris Whittington posts are especially interesting, very objective, and to the point. I am glad to see him posting again.

Interesting comments by the experts.

CW thinks it shows that both Rybka and IPPO stem from the same source code. He theorizes that one programmer left the Rybka team to then make IPPO. However, since Rybka is not a team programming effort, and just one man...

Then Zach thinks BB's claims that his analysis was derived without a tool such as IDA is ridiculous.

No, you have completely misunderstood what I said.

You wrote it. What did you mean then?

I replied to Sven's original post and found out that my post was removed almost immediately. I assure you that my post was civil and did not insult anyone. Why was it removed? Jeremy? Swami? Could you please explain?

thank you

That is not what CW said. This is what he said ...

"There is the possibility that the Rybka code and the IPPOLIT code both owe quite a lot to ideas (not code, necessarily) from the same source (using source in its original meaning not source code)"

I didn't touch it. No notes in the mods forum, either.

You curiously only chose to repeat one of the three postulations he posted.

That was his second, which means that unless you think Rybka 3 came from some unknown third-party program, it suggests very strongly that IPPO, which came a full year later came from the same source as Rybka 3: Rybka 3.

His first postulation was Rybka code and the IPPOLIT code were written substantially by the same person/team "Rybka code and the IPPOLIT code were written substantially by the same person/team"

and his 3rd was "could be that Rybka's programmer departed the company and went away and wrote IPPOLIT.".

All three explanations still suggest essentially the same thing, that Rybka and IPPO come from the same source/person/team. The only differences are in how this happened.
