  • Draft – Not for Circulation
    A Gross Miscarriage of Justice in Computer Chess by Dr. Søren Riis Introduction In June 2011 it was widely reported in the global media that the International Computer Games Association (ICGA) had found chess programmer International Master Vasik Rajlich in breach of the ICGA‟s annual World Computer Chess Championship (WCCC) tournament rule related to program originality. In the ICGA‟s accompanying report it was asserted that Rajlich‟s chess program Rybka contained “plagiarized” code from Fruit, a program authored by Fabien Letouzey of France. Some of the headlines reporting the charges and ruling in the media were “Computer Chess Champion Caught Injecting Performance-Enhancing Code”, “Computer Chess Reels from Biggest Sporting Scandal Since Ben Johnson” and “Czech Mate, Mr. Cheat”, accompanied by a photo of Rajlich and his wife at their wedding. In response, Rajlich claimed complete innocence and made it clear that he found the ICGA‟s investigatory process and conclusions to be biased and unprofessional, and the charges baseless and unworthy. He refused to be drawn into a protracted dispute with his accusers or mount a comprehensive defense. This article re-examines the case. With the support of an extensive technical report by Ed Schröder, author of chess program Rebel (World Computer Chess champion in 1991 and 1992) as well as support in the form of unpublished notes from chess programmer Sven Schüle, I argue that the ICGA‟s findings were misleading and its ruling lacked any sense of proportion. The purpose of this paper is to defend the reputation of Vasik Rajlich, whose innovative and influential program Rybka was in the vanguard of a mid-decade paradigm change within the computer chess community.

  • Move Similarity Analysis in Chess Programs
    Move similarity analysis in chess programs D. Dailey, A. Hair, M. Watkins Abstract In June 2011, the International Computer Games Association (ICGA) disqual- ified Vasik Rajlich and his Rybka chess program for plagiarism and breaking their rules on originality in their events from 2006-10. One primary basis for this came from a painstaking code comparison, using the source code of Fruit and the object code of Rybka, which found the selection of evaluation features in the programs to be almost the same, much more than expected by chance. In his brief defense, Rajlich indicated his opinion that move similarity testing was a superior method of detecting misappropriated entries. Later commentary by both Rajlich and his defenders reiterated the same, and indeed the ICGA Rules themselves specify move similarity as an example reason for why the tournament director would have warrant to request a source code examination. We report on data obtained from move-similarity testing. The principal dataset here consists of over 8000 positions and nearly 100 independent engines. We comment on such issues as: the robustness of the methods (upon modifying the experimental conditions), whether strong engines tend to play more similarly than weak ones, and the observed Fruit/Rybka move-similarity data. 1. History and background on derivative programs in computer chess Computer chess has seen a number of derivative programs over the years. One of the first was the incident in the 1989 World Microcomputer Chess Cham- pionship (WMCCC), in which Quickstep was disqualified due to the program being \a copy of the program Mephisto Almeria" in all important areas.

Preface About five years ago I completed my diploma project about computer chess at the University of Applied Sciences in Friedberg, Germany. Immediately after- wards I continued in 2004 with the R&D of my computer-chess engine Loop. In 2005 I started my Ph.D. project ”New Architectures in Computer Chess” at the Maastricht University. In the first year of my R&D I concentrated on the redesign of a computer-chess architecture for 32-bit computer environments.

  • A Chess Engine
    A Chess Engine Paul Dailly Dominik Gotojuch Neil Henning Keir Lawson Alec Macdonald Tamerlan Tajaddinov University of Glasgow Department of Computing Science Sir Alwyn Williams Building Lilybank Gardens Glasgow G12 8QQ March 18, 2008 Abstract Though many computer chess engines are available, the number of engines using object orientated approaches to the problem is minimal. This report documents an implementation of an object oriented chess engine. Traditionally, in order to gain the advantage of speed, the C language is used for implementation, however, being an older language, it lacks many modern language features. The chess engine documented within this report uses the modern Java language, providing features such as reflection and generics that are used extensively, allowing for complex but understandable code. Also of interest are the various depth first search algorithms used to produce a fast game, and the numerous functions for evaluating different characteristics of the board. These two fundamental components, the evaluator and the analyser, combine to produce a fast and relatively skillful chess engine. We discuss both the design and implementation of the engine, along with details of other approaches that could be taken, and in what manner the engine could be expanded. We conclude by examining the engine empirically, and from this evaluation, reflecting on the advantages and disadvantages of our chosen approach.

  • Rybka Investigation and Summary of Findings for the ICGA Mark Lefler, Robert Hyatt, Harvey Williamson and ICGA Panel Members 12 May 2011
    Rybka Investigation and Summary of Findings for the ICGA Mark Lefler, Robert Hyatt, Harvey Williamson and ICGA panel members 12 May 2011 1. Background 1.1 Purpose: To investigate claims that the chess playing program Rybka is a derivative of the chess programs Fruit and Crafty and violated International Computer Games Association (ICGA) Tournament rules. Rybka is a program by Vasik Rajlich. Fruit was written by Fabien Letouzey. Crafty was written by Robert Hyatt. 1.2 Allegations. Allegations have surfaced that Rybka 1.0 beta and later versions are derivatives of Fruit 2.1. Fruit 2.1 source code was distributed with a specific license in the copying.txt file. Part of this license reads: "For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights." Allegations point out that by distributing Rybka, if it is based on Fruit, this GNU license was violated (http://icga.wikispaces.com/Open+letter+to+the+ICGA+about+the+Rybka- Fruit+issue). If versions of Rybka are derived from Fruit and participated in ICGA tournaments, then Rybka has also violated ICGA Tournament Rules. Specifically, the rules state: "Each program must be the original work of the entering developers. Programming teams whose code is derived from or including game-playing code written by others must name all other authors, or the source of such code, in the details of their submission form.

  • CSS-Rangliste Unumgänglich
    CSS- Ranglist e - Zappa heißt jet zt Zap!Chess CSS- Ranglist e - Zappa heißt jet zt Zap!Chess Neue Qualif ikat ionsnorm Das sensationelle Rating von Rybka 1.1 von über 2900 Elo hat nicht nur die Messlatte für die Konkurrenz in fast unerreichbare Höhen gelegt, zugleich macht dieses Ergebnis eine Überarbeitung der Struktur der CSS-Rangliste unumgänglich. Vor dem Test mit Rybka lag der Elounterschied zwischen dem Spitzenreiter Fruit 2.2.1 und dem Tabellenletzten Jonny 2.82 bei 224 Punkten. Rybka hat diesen Unterschied von jetzt auf gleich auf 318 Punkte gelegt und erzielte dabei einen durchschnittlichen Score von 79,2%. Dieser an sich fantastische Score macht aber zukünftige Messungen von Spielstärkesteigerungen auf diesem oder noch höherem Niveau fast unmöglich. Besonders deutlich wird dies, wenn man die erzielten Scores von Rybka 1.1 32-bit in drei Spielstärkegruppen aufteilt. Gegen die Gegner aus dem unteren Tabellendrittel erzielte Rybka einen durchschnittlichen Score von 85,0% und erzielte dabei Matchscores von 77,5%–95,0%. Genau diese Ergebnisse sind statistisch grenzwertig, weil sie eben kaum verbesserbar sind. Um solche Resultate zu reduzieren, ist es unumgänglich, das Spielstärkeniveau innerhalb der Rangliste zu erhöhen. Dies erreicht man, indem man die Rangliste zahlenmäßig reduziert, also schwächere Engines aus der Rangliste entfernt. Ich stellte mir dabei die Frage, wie ein solches Prozedere in geregelter Weise erfolgen kann. Dabei fiel mir ein, dass die CSS-Rangliste in früherer Zeit genau zu diesem Zweck mit einer Qualifikationsnorm belegt war. Hierzu zog ich seinerzeit die FIDE-Normen, welche natürlich für menschliche Schachspieler galten, heran. Um in die Rangliste aufgenommen zu werden, mussten die betreffenden Engines mit ihrem Testdurchlauf so viel Punkte erzielen, dass sie die Norm eines Internationalen Meisters erringen würde.
