Hi Antonio,

Thanks for your interest.  I am not aware of any results for Glaurung 1.0.2,
but there are plenty of results for the almost identical 1.0.1.  The strength
seems to be on roughly the same level as Naum, WildCat, Ruffian, Gandalf,
SlowChess and ProDeo.  I am too lazy to locate all the many test results I
have seen, but you can have a look at the CEGT and UEL rating lists:

As you can see, it is not close to the top programs, but hey, it's free. :-)

>What about Tablebase settings?

Tablebases are not supported, and probably never will be.  Glaurung is
released under the GNU Public License, which is not compatible with the
Nalimov EGTB code.
