May-24-05  soberknight: Wow...a player named "Deep ___" who is not a computer!
May-24-05  Whitehat1963: Yeah, forgive my ignorance, but looking at it, I thought maybe it was an Indian or Pakistani computer program!
May-24-05  soberknight: <Whitehat> lol
May-25-05  BipolarChessorder: 'deep' is derived from sanskrit and means 'light' in a number of Indian languages. Sengupta is a common last name in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal.
May-25-05  Sourav: The 'D' in 'Deep Sengupta' is pronounced as 'the' and not as 'D' in 'Double'.

<BipolarChessorder> Thanks for the info on the surname 'Sengupta'.
