I am also aware of the problem for a long time. However, I used to have the
attitude that if the author says that his engine is EGTB capable then I will use
EGTB's for that engine. If it has bugs, it shall pay for it. The same is true
e.g. for Betsy, it's been losing a lot of games due to an EGTB bug making her
sacrifice all her pieces.
