Two more:

Homer: http://danielz005.da.funpic.de/viewpage.php?page_id=4
Gothmog 1.0 beta 13: http://www.math.uio.no/~romstad/g10b13.tar.gz

In order to run the UCI engines (Glaurung, Gothmog, Homer) you will
need PolyGlot 1.4 beta 2:

http://www.math.uio.no/~romstad/polyglot_14_b2.tar.gz

You will also need one of the FRC enabled XBoards -- either the
one by Anastasios (found on the AICE page) or the one by Fabien
and me:

http://www.math.uio.no/~romstad/xboard-960.tar.bz2

Anastasios' version has prettier colours, and has a nice button
for starting a new game with a random FRC position.

If there is any interest, I can try to create a bundle containing
an XBoard-960 binary, Glaurung and Gothmog, and some simple
scripts for running engine vs engine matches or running a
human-computer game from a random position.  If the authors
permit, I can also include some of the other Linux FRC engines.
