This could be fixed with a trivial modification: first check if the opponent source code is identical to your own, and if it is then cooperate. Otherwise run the other bot's source.
However, there's another problem: If DuncanS's strategy plays against a CooperateBot or a random bot, it will throw away a lot of points.
That is a problem, but fortunately we know that those competitors will be eliminated before the chameleon, whereupon it will begin to improve its performance.
