Well the timing of the last release was kind of bad luck because Rybka came out
less than 24 hours later but I think people would be surprised that Gambit Fruit
Beta 4bx is stronger than people think if they tested it.  I get emails with
good results of Gambit Fruit but I also get emails from people who have not
tested the last release of Gambit Fruit asking why I release a weak program when
I should be using Rybka.
