Here is something that convinces me it does not.

Deep Thought beat Cray Blitz every time we played them.

I played a 20 game match vs Crafty a few months back and posted the results.
I don't remember now, but it was something like 13-7 in favor of CB.  CB
used a T90, Crafty used my quad 700.

Crafty wins more against Diep than it loses on ICC.

I don't see therefore how you could even say Diep knows way more than
Deep Thought, much less Deep Blue or Deep Blue 2.

I have watched your program play horrible move after horrible move.  Mine does
too.  You imply that yours does not, but that is hogwash.  Particularly in an
endgame DB, Kasparov, or many other programs will wreck you quickly....

14 plies doesn't take them forever.  They hit 14 _all_ the time, just look at
the logs.  14 is actually _low_.  They are generally deeper than that.

You also lose games horribly worse.  I will be happy to post some recent
ones if you want to discuss them.

Cray Blitz.  Crafty could not beat Cray Blitz.  I have not seen Diep beat
Crafty even 50% of the time.  And that chain stops at Deep Thought.  DB 2 is
_far_ stronger.

Deep Thought was not "piece square".  It used them just as I use them.  But
that is a tiny part of what it does.  Just like it was a tiny part of what I
did in CB and Crafty.
