Subject: For beta testers:testing personalities and new movei.

I am considering to release a new free version of movei.

The latest version has a lot of options to change personality and my guess is
that it is possible to get at least 50 elo only by changing evaluation and
search parameters(It is probably possible to get more from movei than from
programs when changing personalities were already tested more heavily like
prodeo).

The question is if to release new free version and hope that people will give me
a personality that does significantly better or to give the version only to few
beta testers that will need to test different personalities(if there are people
who are interested).

I am not interested in tournaments that include only one version of movei but
games at different time control with different personalities from blitz to long
time control may be productive for me.

My question is how many testers are interested in testing different
personalities in one of the following cases:

1)If I send it only to beta testers.
2)If I release it as a free version.

please tell me if you are interested to test it in case 1 and in case 2 and I
will decide if to release a free version or only give beta version to people who
ask me based on the replies.
