Hey! Why do you say that? When testing a chess engine (it's really a matter for beta tests, not post-release tests) all moves have to be analysed, not just the "sensible" moves. And when using a chess engine, everyone uses it in different ways. Despite having powerhouses like Fritz and Shredder on my PC, I still play most of my games against Goliath Light. I used to use Fritz to analyse my club games, but I've discovered that since version 7 Shredder is a better choice. All I'm saying is that everyone uses his chess engine(s) of choice in different ways. Personally, I'm very thankful to Eduard for his work in testing new engines. He does a great job, and Chessbase ought to send him a beta copy of their new engines before release :)
