Descriptions
- Description given in 1999:
Started winter 1994 with DIEP. But now i'm busy with this experimental parallel program, it's called DIEP. Still using the same huge evaluation, from which as far as i know it's the most extensive chess evaluation that any chessprogram contains (although mainly middlegame/opening heuristics).
The search of DIEP is however very very selective currently. I plan to join Paderborn with a complete new search. Not only parallel, but it's closer to best first search than the depth limited alfabeta search, although it's still using the iteration to expand nodes.
- Description given in 1997:
Diep is a classical chess playing program with this exception that I try to incorporate as much chess knowledge as possible. This is hard work, but in the end I hope it will give Diep a lot.
