You don't want to get it, but in order to get this lost position,
there DB played somehorrible moves which diep doesn't play because
it knows a bit more!

Score is wrong from DB. We can discuss in length, but that's it.
My score is better when i get Bxh7, with DB that would take forever
to get 14 ply with SE and fullwidth.

I win daily with diep better games as DB won from kasparov.

This is too deep for me to follow. Which program can't win from Deep Thought?

Any todays program would completely kill a piece square table based
program of course.

Weakest chain is too tough for such an old program.
