Controversy
IPPOLIT was initially prohibited from many computer chess websites after the author of the chess engine Rybka claimed it to be a clone of his program.[3] IPPOLIT authors have denied the accusation. Even today, some chess rating lists still refuse to include it in their lists of tested programs.
