Anyway a strong point to test Gambit Fruit a bit. We will soon have enough Rybka for the beginning and some testers are currently busy with a new Glaurung beta. After this Hiarcs 10 will be highest priority, but I think a could convince a few testers who will not buy it to test Gambit Fruit. What I like concerning this one, is that it was stated from the beginning, where it derives from, that it plays more differently and has Fruit in the engine name. Best Regards Heinz
