its ability to assess positional advantages and value which comes from its algorithms.

If you watch Rybka play in whatever UI you like i personally use Fritz, you can play it against whatever engine you like, Shredder, crafty, fritz and Rybka will blow me away sometimes with its lines and assessment over the other engines.

Are people missing the point? There's nothing wrong with using open source code in your own projects (as long as you comply with licensing) because it's open source!

ICGA is unhappy because he plagiarized, which is against their own personal rules: he didn't credit the open source code he used.

At least someone here understood the whole point...it was not that he used the others code, which was made open and he had every right to use, it was the fact that he told everybody the whole thing was original, and never credited the other engine's contributions to his code....

Thank you, kind sir.
