Evidence that Ippolit was based on decompiled engine

"Without much doubt it [...] explains how the Rybka 3 hackers created Ippolit as the original Ippolit source code came in one long C-file created by the Hex-rays decompiler, like the source code of Rybka 1.0 Beta offered on this page comes as one long C-code file. It confirms what many already noticed, parts of the Ippolit source code are computer generated and indeed the Hex-rays decompiler does exactly that."

that statement plus 4 bucks will buy a cup of coffee at starbucks. In fact, the 4 bucks is enough. Which shows what that statement is worth...

What puzzles me is Ed's double meter. He argues very intensively against ICGA evidence defending Rybka. On the other hand he makes a verdict about Ippolit being "hacked Rybka 3" without any evidence whatsoever. He cannot have it both ways.

And the argument about hexrays and one long C file is simply pathetic.

Also if you note, when Strelka / IPPO were "allegedly" BUT unproven clones of Rybka, the Rybka sectarians screamed: "Illegal". "Not allowed" !

But, oh!,....how changed their precepts now, in light that the infallible [Vas] Rybka itself is a clone of Fruit and Crafty! ED, a proven prevaricator of truth/facts, and leader of these brigands, now want an amendment of the ["useless"] ICGA's Rule 2 to accept derived works. Inadvertently admitting Rybka/Vas' guilt of illegal cloning (or non originality). Inadvertently displaying their adulation, above objectivity, for Vas.

I fully support ICGA & its Rule 2 appertaining originality. Computer chess community needs more morally & ethically intact organizations like ICGA.
