Sorry Eduard, but that is not a clever question (to put it nicely).

Rybka is by far the biggest engine in size that i have ever seen (2,39 MB) and
it has a slower search speed than Hiarcs in terms of Nps, by preliminary
results, including my own, it is far ahead of the competition.

I see no reason for asking such a question Eduard, especially when you have
obviously done no research of importance.

To me it is clear that Rybka is an original engine, here is an outtake from the
readme file:

"Closer Collaboration?

We are also interested in finding chess and computer chess fans who would like
to participate more closely in our project. There are a number of possibilities
in this direction:

1) Opening book creation.
2) Official operation of Rybka in in-person and online tournaments.
3) More serious and technically open testing of Rybka versions and changes.
4) Porting of the engine to other platforms."

Do you think that someone would make a clone and then ask people to help porting
to other platforms which, correct me if i am wrong, would involve giving them
the source code?
