With a sole purpose in my mind:  to get an idea in which positions Diep does not
feel quite at home.  Which I did.  And the short time controls (sad, but true)
were the only way to play a lot of games and check Diep out as much as I could.
Besides, it is always fun to watch two different programs play each other for
the first time on your computer.  You just might agree with me on that.

As for the ubiquitous umbrella excuse offered by losers at blitz time controls
over and over again, please read Christophe's post below.
