I think it would be well received. > > Terry Because Ed needs to do this himselve. And if he does it, then he first get the same problems i have now. I'm busy few months now, and it's getting better and better, but for the last couple of weeks there are some bugs in diep, causing it to get hung after some minutes (so if you lag long then it gets hung). So it would take Ed time and money, and if he gets it to run, then he needs also big variaty book etc, otherwise you get over and over silly people repeating for example: 1.e3,d5 2.Nf3,c5 3.e4 and win by book for white as programs have problems thinking out theorem themselve. And you need to do all kind of stuff like not cleaning hashtable
