The programs just don't support FRC at all, I guess.

It did remarkably well in your tournament, but I think luck is the
main explanation.  There is one factor which could be slightly
advantageous for Glaurung in FRC:  My program is extremely weak
in the endgame, and FRC puts the endgame a tiny bit further away.
In normal chess, some pieces have usually been exchanged when
the programs leave their opening books.

I doubt that there are any big differences in the relative strengths of
the various programs in FRC compared to normal chess, though.
Glaurung is certainly nowhere near as strong as Shredder or Spike
in FRC.
