The numbers are probably lower because >knowledge of Arena is probably limited to a few computer chess freaks.. How did you manage to get such an upbeat personality? ;) Seriously, have you tested Arena? have you tried it out? Of course ther are more people using Winboard at the moment, Arena Beta version is 1 day old :) Frank, i think, is tracking the # of Arena downloads to see how many are actually testing and you have to "register" only to become a tester, i suspect when people are done testing there will be no need to "register" Jonas "king smiley" Cohonas
