Hello Mike!
Your questions are very relevant and in fact I have had the same thoughts. I
downloaded the Beta 1.0 Version and I'm running a Ratinglist. I simply don't
know wheter I should test the Beta Version or wait for the "real" version before
testing Rybka. Normally I would expect the NON-Beta Version to be somewhat
stronger but according to the "Read me" there won't be any significant
difference.
