It will still be Glaurung, but just not based on the current source code. Glaurung is now about one year old, and the code has grown too complicated and messy, and there are an awful number of bad design decisions. The program suffers from what programmers often call "code rot". The purpose of rewriting now is to make everything simpler, cleaner and more compact. The result will be a program very similar to the current version of Glaurung, but (I hope) slightly smaller, faster and (most importantly) easier to maintain and develop. A complete rewrite may sound like a huge amount of work, but in my case it isn't. Glaurung is a very small program, the total code size is less than half of most other chess engines. Tord
