Hi Tord,

  Something strange about this game: Was Glaurung out of time by move 71? Maybe
it was already lost, but... my new "sorted-by-you" engine discards the move 71.
Qb7+ after only 6 plys, and shifts to 71. e6+, which seems to hold much longer.
My engine in multi-PV mode gives a score of -8.45 for the move 71.Qb7+ after
just 10 ply (and later mated score), whereas the alternative 71. e6+ seems to
hold much longer with a score of -1.25. Lost or not, engines always try to hold
as long as possible, so I was wondering how could Glaurung -which is way
stronger than my engine- do such move? Lack of time or a bug?

  Best regards, and thanks for your help the other day: Ayito now works like a
charm.

  Jaime
