Yes. I've being aware of Arena for quite some time now..Also Like you , I'm one of the 174 testers.. After all anyone can register.. I have being following this UCI thing for some time now.. BTW >Of course ther are more people using Winboard at the moment, Arena Beta version >is 1 day old :) Of course :) Just pointing out that 174 testers is not a amazing number given that it's free, and anyone can register ..If you have read the thread, you would have seen that I was reacting to the claim that Arena is getting more support, based merely on "174 testers", most of who are mainly users.. and the winboard engine authors.. >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" You "suspect"?
