Reading his comments on Rybka forum, and the whole thing is like Htrae. I am just disgusted at the computer chess community. Either this person really lacks something or it must be some type of joke on all of us. I can't think of a situation where someone is caught red-handed, and yet continues to speak pompously. This is strange.

Early versions of Rybka (pre-rybka1.0beta) were plain ANSI C as they came from Crafty which is in pure C, not C++. Houdini came from robolito/ivanhoe/ippolit/et.al. which would make Houdini a C engine also.
Of course it has already been proven without any reasonable doubt that Houdini chess is RobboLito modified.Houdart wrote:Houdini makes extensive use of C++ templates.
Why do you continue to spread all this nonsense about Houdini? Instead you could be working on Crafty to close the 300-400 Elo point gap with the top engines...
