No, what happened few weeks ago is that I spent good time writing an answer to you. Then I clicked in "preview" but I forgot to click on "submit", later when I found my mistake I was to lazy to answer again.

YaY as you all now is based on YtoICS and is open source. Someone out there figured out how to make it say whatever they wanted to say. The last official release is 3.2.4, "cheating edition" and whatever else are not official.
Using engines to cheat:
- It is not ethical,
- It is useless, nothing is gained (how can one be proud of a score earn with dishonesty?)
- You will be baned, sooner or later,
- It gives us (the true chess engine players) a bad reputation.
