you know as well as I, that any program can have a good event, that does not
make it a champion. Shredder is a real champion, it has won lots of events and
as fischer put it "strength is better determined by match play", and so being, I
don't think diep would win a 20 game match with any of the top 5 programs today.
I just don't think much of diep or it's style.
