No, DIEP can never be a crafty clone. The contrary makes sense.
As it's clear from many posts Vincent did, he was the one who invented
null-move, double null-move, hash tables SMP programming, NUMA programming and
many search technologies. Sorry if I forgot other major inventions. Everything
in Crafty is more or less wrong. That's why people prefer older Crafty versions
as they contain less bugs.
Diep is allready in same class with Fritz, Shredder, Junior and others. It's
commercial.
