"Enemy number one" in what sense?  The results I have seen does not
indicate that Spike is an unexpectedly difficult opponent for Glaurung.
In the CEGT games, the best data we have for the two engines, the
only remarkable thing about the results between Spike and Glaurung
is the very high percentage of draws.  After 22 games, it's 4 wins,
3 losses and 15 draws for Glaurung.  Have a look at the full list for
details:

The results I have seen elsewhere are not too different.  Of course
the comparison is not entirely fair, because the latest public version
of Spike is rather old, while Glaurung 0.2.4 was released just a
couple of weeks ago.

In my experience, the real nightmare opponents for Glaurung are
Yace Paderborn, Pepito 1.59 and Hiarcs 9.6.  Against all of these,
Glaurung consistently underperforms by at least 100 Elo points.
