I except nothing at face value and decided to download and test these understanding that clones are generally not quite as strong as what is cloned from. In my amazement Samsung seems quite a bit stronger than Robodini at least early on. 5 mins +3 tournament in 64 game match First seven games Samsung is winning very easily +5 =2 -0!!! If indeed this is a clone of Robodini that would be really rare if a clone of a clone was actually stronger and early on I would say significantly stronger!! 

Here are a few things I have observed. Robodini is faster but Samsung leads on time quite a bit and has held the advantage in almost all of the drawn games.

Samsung is a hex-edited Robodini?

yes...it's true

Samsung may very well be but there are differences in evals, time management and it appears the clone in this case is actually stronger than the engine cloned from. That tells me that someone put some time in to altering and improving an already strong engine. I think it is actually somewhat stronger than Robodini at least from a preliminary observation. 

Isn't Robidini already a clone of Houdini 3? So Samsung is a clone of a clone?

Would anyone like to have this engine? I can share if that is allowed.
