Hello Andreas,

every program can be stronger with more helps.
Not only Arena is a good example!

ChessBase software too.
I helps in different beta times and after the release versions with impressions
and bug reports.

Absolutly normally in IT-Software developments!
And the customers will get for his help a better version!
The developer have the possibilie to work and spent his time.

I wish me that the chess programmers find more helping persons.
This is not easy because the most have interest to search sensation in internet
descuss or try to write a provokativ message to developers. Of course for this
group of people an interesting hobby too.

Have a nice day!

Best
Frank
