Hello,
2 remarks, i just cut'n pasted the thing from my monitor
and that goes wrong with some whitespaces here and there.
note that the state checks i typed myselve when i saw it thinking
long, it's done during the search and gives the deepest line seen
and some useless other info (as it's running at 1 processor here).

about the lines: there are 2 things about my eval:
  - i was experimenting with myopposite bishop code with respect to
    the deep blue position (test went well btw) so there is something
    wrong there currently.
  - secondly diep is very unhappy about this position with white
    as there is something wrong with passed pawns in the endgame for
    DIEP. as a result of that it might be unhappy here instead of very
    happy. therefore diep tries to get a draw. by not kicking the bishop
    at f4 diep has a bigger chance for a draw then of course, as when
    kicking it off the board it is just plain happy for black.
