Thanks bro for upload Mars 1 x86   

Curious about Mars.... Is it mainly derived from Fire/Firenzina, or is it a little closer to a clone status? Some info will help me.

Nice engine, I like its style of play. Is Mars a clone or an original program?

The last post I saw this program, it seemed to be based on 2.2 fire, but it seems the author was forward .. best

It based on Fire 2.2. But the next version would be based on IvanHoe.

Mars based on IvanHoe is illegal too or not?

I guess it's legal.

it gets even more complicated with IvanHoe...
as parts of Chesslogik RobboLito GPL releases have have found there way into IvanHoe

for ex: off the top of my head, i remember time management function from Robbo 009 ...
Milos S. worked really hard on that, and it was a good improvement

time.c (12/31/2009) : 2nd half of search_initialization
found pretty much copied verbatim w/ minor changes as
ivanhoe control.c TimeManagerAlternative

Izak Pretorius
This is not my concern,and never will be.
Time management is easy to change,if this really bugs you that much.For all you know it has already been changed ;)It will be hard to prove though who first put the code in,you or the decembrists.
You and Sentinel should take up this issue with the real authors of Ippolit and Ivanhoe and Robbolito.Roberto Pescatore etc etc,those guys.

I think it totally sucks though to get free the greatest free code in chess history up to recently,and then turn around,use that code and put a copyright on it.What is up with that?! Incredible really.Laughable actually.

Norman Schmidt
we did a ton of work
porting from raw unstable ippolit linux release to windows
much debugging: resolution of unhandled exception errors, etc;
the addition of pondering and ponderhit
optimization of the alignment of hash structures
different and improved bit scan functions
implementation of mersenne rand functions
new faster version of popcnt functions
cache prefetching
smooth scaling of null move
improved/corrected time management
better UCI GUI compatibility
CPU load
upper/lower bound printing
move on ponderhit
etc.
and of course, the translation from very difficult to read code to into common and easily understandable programming terms

the GPL license was the right thing to do, an effort to protect these additions/changes, and discourage abuse
if you didn't want these improvements, or didn't want to abide by the license...you could simply use the raw/unstable public domain version

but unlike you, everything we did with the code was shared with the community 'open source' and in good faith...

i think taking the greatest free code in chess history, changing the name, closing the source, modifying a little bit of code and a few parameters, and then compiling it with newest Intel optimizations
(to demonstrate an ELO increase), as you have done, is far worse...

and completely contrary to the goals and spirit of Ippolit
quite pathetic actually
