What?? May I politely ask you to avoid such unbelievable nonsense? How could
negative results be called "testing of Rybka"? Honest testing would cause
positive results. At least this is what I learned in my long university studies.
So please, let the programmer of Rybka work in peace and stop confusing him with
that kind of nonsense. Thanks!
