Maybe a bug in Diep ;-) ?

Same true for Fritz 7.0.0.8 at 18 ply?

(Not all of my hardware sucks ;) )

As you might have noticed I didn't publish real analysis with or without
computer's help here at all - neither did you . I simply checked Roy's lines and
think he has a point and you didn't give any other argument than Diep's +2.0
without even the mainlines or depth.

Major reason for my lack of analysis is that it has already been proven that
this is no good testposition at all with 20 minutes of time as most computers
will choose 1. c4 or 1. Ba5 without seeing too much of a difference - also I
think Roy's lines are not bad at all.

I have come to the conclusion that it can be proven that 1. Ba5 is better
nevertheless - but this is no computerchess , but a chess analysis contest. I
won't forget it and am willing to accept the challenge - _after_ the WCCC ;).

Will Diep really be able to play and scale well on this monster hardware? This
should make it _the_ favourite .

Good luck,
Peter
