I would have thought that, since Amir Ban, and/or Bushinsky said a few days ago
it will be out in 10, days, and that it was up to chessbase, seeing that Amir
Ban seems to have plenty time recently to post relaxingly on CTF, I'd have
thought that he had no work left to be done on his program, and was quite
relaxed about it.
