Vladimir Yelin, (Vladimir Elin) a Belorussian chess programmer and author of the chess engines Kaissa2 and Patriot. Kaissa2 is a namesake of Kaissa, the first World Computer Chess Champion , and evolved to Patriot to become a commercial Arena engine in early 2004 . In May 2005, his upcoming new version Patriot 2.0 turned out to be a Fruit/Toga clone , when later investigations revealed the previously assumed innocent Patriot 1 aka later Kaissa versions were based on Crafty with many changes. Investigator Alexander Schmidt stated that later versions of Kaissa released after the Patriot disaster still have Crafty traces inside.
