1) How could you know that Diep has "an impressive positional play"? How did you
draw this conclusion?

2) It is interesting to know what book you are refering to because the last
public Diep Version was in 1995-1996 and this Version was 1.5... As far as I can
remember, this version had a Dos Gui and I would like to know how you could
automate the match.

3) If you did not use this old Diep Version and you are refering later to a
newer version here: http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?320878,
"That was the stock book that came with Diep, ver. 2.*..."

How did you get this newer version, because it was one of the last Winboard Diep
Versions in 2001? Did you paid for a Diep License to get this version? Or you
were a Beta Tester for that time (2001), since I have been the Author of the
Diep Book for 2 years, I cannot remember that Diep has mentioned you as a Beta
Tester neither lately. So, I am still wondered how you can refer to a Diep 2.X
Version.

I paid for my first Diep Winboard Version but I cannot remember that Vincent has
mentioned you as a Diep Formal User.

4) If you have this book, I can only remember an old book of eccentric openings
in 2001 that I created for Vincent only for fun so how you got this book?

5) If you concluded that the book was fulfull of irregular openings, why didnt
you request a better opening book to Vincent Diepeveen and now you post this
doubtful Match?

6) A correction: I have been the Diep“s Book Creator for 2 years and Vincent
Diepeveen has payed all the attention to the Engine. Therefore, your last
information is wrong. You should verify better the sources of your informations.

AO.
