Why are people still playing CoreWars?  I stopped playing a few years ago
when I determined Vampire type fighters have too much advantages over other
types of fighters; one hit and the game is over.

I can describe my last CoreWars fighter as 2 parallel running vampires that
periodically check if the twin is dead or not.  If so, the survivor will turn
itself into multiplying rabits.  It's insurance against lucky shots.

How do the latest champions work?  If things have changed, please correct
my theory about vampires.
