I agree that EGTB support is nice, but it really hasn't been conclusively show
to improve the strength. At least not if one takes into consideration the CEGT
results of Fruit 2.2 (no EGTB support) and Fruit 2.2.1, which were virtually
identical. Still, I agree this was promised.

On the other hand, you have more parameters and stronger overall play now, and
for the next beta. A slight delay isn't the end of the world you know, and if
you saw how the rest of the software world works you'd realize this delay is
*nothing* in comparison. What's the big deal anyhow? It's certainly not worse
than an immediate and buggy FINAL version of FritzX followed by a dozen patches
and engine updates.
