Hi all, There is now a new version of my chess engine Glaurung on my home page: http://www.glaurungchess.com Compared to the previous version (1.0.1) a bug which would cause the program to incorrectly evaluate some positions as draws has been fixed. This happened mainly in analysis mode. When playing games, I think the bug is triggered so rarely that it has no impact on playing strength. Therefore, this new version is mainly of interest for those of you who use Glaurung as an analysis tool. Those of you who create rating lists are adviced to use Glaurung 1.0.2 in future matches and tournaments, but please let it keep the rating of 1.0.1. The difference in strength is probably too small to be measured. For those of you who are not familiar with my engine: Glaurung is a moderately strong open source chess program. It is nowhere near the commercial programs in strength, but it has a wild and speculative style of play which is great fun to watch (in my very subjective opinion, of course). Source code and binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X are available from the URL above. Have fun! Tord
