Nothing to be sorry about!  I was just trying to give advice.  :-)

You are right.  I didn't see that discussion.  Clearly, Jorge chose the wrong
horse to bet on.  :-)

I have no doubt.  After all, Glaurung is far behind the top engines.  By the
way,
it is always nice to see that there are still people who actually play against
chess programs, and don't only use them for analysis and comp vs comp
games.

Congratulations!

I suppose "Gautlung" above means "Glaurung"?  Yes, of course Shredder should
win easily against Glaurung in Mainz if they happen to meet each other.
Shredder
is probably about 200 Elo points stronger even on equal hardware, and in Mainz
Shredder is likely to run on hardware at least four times faster than Glaurung.
The difference in playing strength will be somewhere between 300 and 400
points.

I go to Mainz to meet the other programmers, not to win the tournament.
Glaurung will need a lot of luck just to finish with a 50% score.

I really don't think so.  :-)
