Diep is a good engine with a lot of knowledge, but it has lacked of good testing and recently, the contact against other engines in real tournaments.

It is a very heavy engine like Zappa and it demands strong multi-cores systems.

The future: Uncertain. Maybe, he will go commercial someday but I have heard this over the last ten years. Or, he will simply retire. I doubt he will release a free version.

So, advise: email him your questions and wait for his reaction.
