If RH = VR the facts of:
-selling Houdini by ChessOk
- adding preservr analysis

have deeper sense.

There is no new Rybka so a new product is neccessary to sell.

The best idea is to have 2 programs which will be competing with each other being changed themselves on the top.
The sales are going on. It can be one programmer who will work on this 2 programs but for marketing it is better to have that programmer under 2 names. :-)

It is better to laugh then to cry.

This is evidence against Vas being Houdart. Vas just utterly broke the persistent Hash feature and that's why it wasn't included in Rybka 4. Vas had a mindset of implementing Persistent Hash that had many issues by design (so the backward propagation "bugs" aren't really "bugs", they had to happen with the approach taken).

Houdart took a fresh approach to learning and his result was more or less fine (at least a workaround is as simple as restarting analysis).

The Persistent Hash behavior of Rybka 3 and the behavior of Houdini Learning that Moz showed at Rybka Forum are nothing alike.

It is not any evidence against anyone. It is a next phantasy theory on the forum, not worse as others.

Sometimes is very wise to break false way and start from the zero :-)

FL is the author of IPPOLIT/RobboLito as revenge. He is also the author of Houdini and RH is just a frontman for it. After FL reached a private settlement with VR, ChessOK was allowed to market it.

Vas definitely pissed someone off. Who? I am not quite sure. Even with Houdini overtaking Rybka and Rybka being 4th or 3rd best on ratings lists now, here was one of the recent postings on IPPOLIT website:

"September: Capitalists condition attackeries outfrom Houdini (Houdart). Workingries with Revolution (Workers) swerves unto rebuttery. Furthermore: Head Comrade Yakov allocates Decembrists for the this. Yet: Personal Opinion: finalries upon Rybka Capitalists buy not the yet (all)."

I think this is saying they are not yet finish with Vasik. Or maybe it has something to do with FSF...
