Recently Rybka author Vasik Rajlich asked the ICGA for an appeal of his case. It was denied to him as you can read from the email correspondence. I like to steal a little bit of your time and ask you to give your opinion on this matter.

Long story short I have created 2 polls, one user poll and one strictly for chess programmers. The links are:

The programmer poll at http://www.top-5000.nl/appeal.htm

The user poll at http://www.top-5000.nl/appeal2.htm

Also posted in CCC engine origins and Rybka forum.

I don't see where Vas was denied an appeal. I don't even see where Vas ASKED for an appeal. I see where YOU asked for one.

I do not know David's thought processes, but even I would discount all of this since Vas didn't initiate ANYTHING...
