You keep making these comparisons, Vincent - and without justification.

1) Diep never played against Deep Blue
2) Diep never played or beat Kasparov (or any other World Champion) in a match

So why keep making these comparisons? It's just utter nonsense!

You might win such an ending once in a blue moon against Crafty, but you're
overstating your ability, here.

And understating Deep Blue's. Perhaps to make you and Diep look better?
Hmmmm!
