How can you possibly know anything about Diep's strength? It is not available to the public (with the possible exception of some extremely ancient MS-DOS version), and it has just played in a handful of tournaments which are not nearly enough to give us any reliable picture of its level. The truth is that only Vincent and perhaps a few beta testers have any idea about the strength of the engine. And even if we assume that Diep is 50, 100 or even 200 points behind the strongest engines: Who cares? Unless you are a GM, you are not likely to notice the difference. Stability, support, features, ease of use and style of play are what really counts for the average user. Tord
