Others already said what i will say, but a repeat is always good:

You pay for an engine and not being a beta tester!

 Of course if you want you can always send the games to Vasik for possible bugs
or new discoveries....If you don't want to send anything then you simply don't
send anything, with NO consequences!
 What you will say would be correct only if there was a rule saying that you
will have to send feedback in order to get the next update. But of course there
isn't such a rule, so what you say is clearly wrong....!

 I see many people doing many tests with Rybka and give their results back for
evaluation, but i don't think you believe they are doing it because they have
been deceived as they don't realise they are doing a beta testing for free. They
just do it because they enjoy it.....!
 Also if someone finds a bug, he obviously will report it since it's logical
that he doesn't want to have an engine with bugs and he wants the bug to be
corrected. If he doesn't report it then how the bug will be corrected?

 Shortly i purchased Rybka and never gave any feedback and i'm not a beta tester
of it! When i found a bug i just reported it and it has been fixed....


 Your above irony is unfair in my opinion since it creates negative impressions
and with no clear point....
