Hi Sarah, I am only a user which time. What I make / made it not really important. I can only help a little bit, for me are the all the programmers the kings in this game. I am only a pawn on field a2 :-) But: The combination Arena / with 5 strong partners is for me a big deal for amateur chess. I have all chances to make a little bit publicity with the setup file for amateur chess and must thanks to Martin Blume, Christian BARRETEAU, Bruno LUCAS, Jean-Christophe GABILLARD and Per-Ola Valfridsson. Maybe next year I am a pawn on field b2 ... I will work hard :-)) Enough ... I can understand the postings from Robert Hyatt. I have a bad time with Voyager, LaPetite (spend hours every day and don't saw that this program have sourcen from Crafty). Long discuss and I must thinking on a mail which I sent the programmer of Voyager with a copy to Bob, no answere of a clear question. Since this time no contacts to Gabriele Müller. But I am sure that Ruffian have not to do with Crafty. All readers here can replay the games and can make analyses. I cann't answer of your question. Christian Koch, Leo Dijksman and myself (but I have not to many time) have version 0.76. The programmer will make different things in the release version and is not complete ready. Example: We found a little bug in a UCI option. So the programmer will fix it as soon as possible. I think the most here are questions for the programmer and not for beta testers. Best Frank
