I wasnt talking about a few interesting games...
Would you like if any of your beta-tester give the results of every single games
played by tiger-beta, and also its weakness and strength to your competitor?
If thats the case, then there is no point of beta-testing. It certainly will
backfire.
If you check, you will see that all the games that are being posted are the
games that are either wins for tiger-beta or they are interesting games.
how many loosing bad games by tiger-beta were posted?
Its really hard for me to believe that tiger hardly looses.  :)

The point is that the criticle information by the beta-testers are always
secret.
Some programs (shredder) goes a little farther.... its hardly give out any
information...

by the way, I really appreciate for the games that are being posted.
