No this is a different match setup. It's a lie from thorsten that diep doesn't lack randomness. it just repeats same line a lot before chosing a different move. It definitely doesn't repeat it each game. In newer versions that problem is gone even completely as i have a new random generator. >That's why Thorsten played the 3rd game with books on. > >Tiger won it, so that's 2-1 in favor of Tiger. >If you don't agree, what do you propose? we talk about a different match without having diep play that line with black colors. in that match with book against with book it's 1-0 now for tiger. in the tiger without - diep with it's 1-1 now. simple as that! note that diep winboard works under MCS6.5 with auto232 player i saw. > Christophe > > > >>>As far as I know the match is still going on.
