Vincent will buy his DOS version, not his WinBoard version. The WinBoard version
play only with ponder = on ! I have the DOS version from the last year. I think
this Diep version play with 2450 ELO, ~ 100 ELO weaker then the latest Crafty
versions (is my opinion but I have not enough games because I have not more
interest on DOS programs).

For one year the price is 129,-- DM for the DOS version. I am registratet user
but I have not a WinBoard version !

The program is good, interesting positional chess but the problem is the endgame
and opening. When Vincent here make changes or try it to make Diep better is
Diep a very strong program. I think Vincent is a very talented programmer and I
think also Diep play from version to version better :-)
