I am running Tord's Glaurung 1.0 as an analysis engine, in the Shredder Classic interface and so far it seems to be doing well! Glaurung stopped its overnight analysis after 1177 minutes running non stop in Adams-Topalov, but I'm not sure that was the program or something I did. Pro Deo was also analyzing at the same time and I was reading on the net, I stopped Pro Deo then but not Glaurung I believe, maybe something went wrong there. But after this computer analysis I think the 12..Bf8 line (Sicilian Scheveningen) as used by Topalov against Adams in Round 2 of Corus, and the main move also in Shredder's and Pro Deo's opening book, is going to get into heavy weather! I say that because the computerprograms, after deep analysis (+3 hours) just want to place the Bishop back on e7 one move later, playing 13..Be7 instead of 13..Na5. This seemed a bit illogical to me, simply a waste of tempo and still that was the best move; so I think alternatives for 12..Bf8, at least for computers but also humans may have better prospects. But I still have to put that position into the computer to see which move they think best one ply earlier. Many moves have already been played there. To be continued.. Eelco
