Fruit 2.1 and Spike are both clearly stronger at blitz, and there are many others of approximately the same strength as Glaurung (Naum, Pro Deo, Ruffian 1.x, WildCat, SlowChess, Jonny, etc.). Based on the data I have seen, I actually think that Glaurung is somewhat stronger at slower time controls, but it is still clearly behind Fruit and Spike. But Uri is right: I wasn't complaining about my own engine, which gets a lot of attention. I was talking about the average level amateur programs. >Keep up the good work Tord. I, for some reason think that >you have a chance to make it to the top. Thanks for the encouragment! I don't quite share your optimism, but at least I can promise that my program will continue to improve. Tord
