My decision about these clones/derivatives

Wow, too many Stockfish clones!

Fried Shark, Orka, Heron Impossible, Beluga and I am sure there will be more of these clones in the future...

So, to stop this flood, on 13 Dec 2014, all of these threads will be merged into one topic, this one:
https://www.chess2u.com/t9202-sf-clones-and-derivatives

I will apply the rules on these clones/derivatives.

https://www.chess2u.com/t733-forum-rules
10 - If an opening book/engine is a clone of another book/engine through forum member investigation, the book/engine will be marked, "clone". The only way to delete the clone books/engines, the original author must send a complaint about the clone book/engine containing all the evidences in the Opening Books/Chess Engines sub-forum.

But you can open a new topic for your engine if you willing to share the source code as well (I am talking about the Stockfish clone engines).
