I think most of us know that you are an experienced programmer/teacher, but it's just your opinion after all. I find interesting what you mentioned about the analysis of the binary of this Danchess program. Except for some hackers, or some disassembly code freaks, I've very few people capable of analysing binary files that way. Actually, I find it very revealing. I don't know what's the method you use to find these similitudes, but I'd bet that my code (which is over 90-something % original) would have nearly no coincident matches with your Crafty, no matter what you do to find them. It's not a scientific method, I know, but finding a sequence of bytes matching both two engines' code have to be more than a coincidence, in my opinion. As you mentioned before, implementing the same algorithm the same way by different people is almost a miracle, but getting the same compiled code byte by byte... sounds like a miracle. Again, I'm no expert. Just my opinion. Regards, Jaime
