Looking for a few people to test my new engine...

I'm looking for a few people to test Juggernaut, my new engine.

Juggernaut is written in Delphi 64-bit (my mother tongue!) and targets the Windows platform. Here are my aims for the initial release:

1. To create a rock-solid, bug-free Delphi engine
2. The initial release is purposefully weak (approximately 2000 ELO) with piece-square table evaluation, and a super simple search of just plain alpha-beta and quiescent search (zero extensions); move ordering is hash move, captures (mvvlva), then history-sorted quiet moves
3. Comprehensive support for the UCI protocol (except UCI_LimitStrength, as it's already quite weak), including multi-pv, multi-threaded searching, searchmoves, UCI_ShowRefutations, and UCI_ShowCurrLine

Before I release it to the general public I'd like some testers to pressure test it as they see fit (on different GUIs, time controls etc.). I really want the first release to be as bug-free as possible.

Let me know via PM if you have the time and the interest. Note, it is only supports Windows 64-bit OS.
