About 18-20 months ago, IIRC.  I'm an awful C programmer, and my code
deteriorates alarmingly quickly when I hack on it for a long time.  If I
continue
doing chess programming, I'll probably have to keep doing complete rewrites
every couple of years or so.

The current rewrite cannot be compared to the Gothmog -> Glaurung
transition, by the way.  Gothmog and Glaurung are two rather different
programs.  Glaurung 2 will be very similar to Glaurung 1, just cleaner,
more compact, and probably with SMP support.
