I never doubted for one second that List was NOT a clone - in my opinion, it was
false accusation  by someone  who knew he was in exams and that it would be
extremely inconvenient for him to defend himself without potentially causing
serious detriment to his exam scores.

The motive behind the  accusation was simply to get Reul's program removed from
the tourament and it worked.

Interestingly , anyone can still download List from Chessbase's website - so it
is obvious that Chessbase and Bob Hyatt do not believe List was a clone.  This
was one of the great chess proramming injustices of all time and the people who
expelled Reul from the tournamanet owe Reul an apology.

Enough said.
