      Can I take from this comments that there is actually
      a difference in how Rybka is working depending on
      whether we play games or use the analysis mode?
      BTW: we are still testing Rybka 1.0 Beta 32-bit
      and have excellent results with your fine engine
      http://www.utzingerk.com/rybka10beta_test.htm
      and no doubt will also buy the next version of
      your program.
      Best regards
      Kurt
