There are lots of much stronger engines. But among the open source engines, Glaurung is probably one of the 10-20 strongest at the moment, and in this sense you are right: There is some danger that Glaurung could be an attractive starting point for a cloner. >I hope it shall not be cloned. I hope so, too, but if it ever happens I am confident that the many observant testers will quickly grow suspicious. I also recently discovered a bug in Glaurung which can be very useful for detecting clones. The bug is entirely harmless in the sense that it will almost certainly never have any effect on the playing strength, but it is also very easy to see by inspecting the executable file (if you know what to look for, of course). Needless to say, I will not explain exactly where and what the bug is, and I will not fix it in future versions. :-) Tord >Thanks, >Matthias.
