Diep
On this page
a private chess engine by Vincent Diepeveen, written in C. The development started in 1994, and so far stopped in December 2012 [2]. Since 1999 Diep performed a parallel search on SMP, and later on NUMA multi core systems, and occasionally on Super Computers but unfortunately without too much support for testing. Diep’s most successful year was 2004, when Diep won the Dutch Open Computer Chess Championship in 2004 [3], and won the Bronze Medal at the WCCC in Ramat Gan [4]. Diep spawns processes for its parallel search. Due to its enormous chess knowledge implemented in its evaluation, Diep was not a fast but knowledge based searcher.
Deep Trouble
In 1997, Vincent Diepeveen’s early claim caused some trouble and antagonism [5] [6] [7] :
