Beast 1.0 sl is Sugar clone?!
Hello, all. For some interest I wanna try new Solista clones. But instead of going to test it immediately I for some interest decided to look what changes he made. And the first thing that confused me was that the code has exactly the same format as SugaR. Also, when I went into VersionHelpers.h the first line was "SugaR is a free chess engine..." I might be wrong, but I think it's renamed SugaR (maybe with some new stockfish patches) Here is the code:

This is my first post. But good way to start. I have been involved in computer chess going back to great original Immortal Forum.
There is an old saying. “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”
I think Eduard grab Marco's source and do some changes to make things better! (probably the opposite happens and engine weaker ).

In programming it's okay to use chunks of code, even large chunks of code from elsewhere as long as you give credit to their developers. Github is a great place for learning and improving software because of this possibility.
As long as copyright is respected.
From my tests, even though this engine is a little old, it loses very little to the current version of stockfish.
I don't know if you've tested the 3.0sl, but it's pretty good.
Does anyone know if there is a 4.0sl version?

Are you done writing meaningless messages? even a child would understand that you're just trying to increment the counter.

As if that weren't enough, you also violate the rules of the forum.. contradictory behavior with respect to your previous intent.
