Glaurung needs your help!

Post by Tord Romstad »

The autumn is approaching, and it is time to think about working on my chess program again, after a few inactive months. :)

I hope to finish Glaurung 2 before the end of the year, and would like to find a few beta testers who can help me make sure the program is stable and strong. What I am looking for is someone who can run a few hundred blitz games from a fixed set of initial positions (i.e. the Silver, Noomen or Nunn positions) against several opponents with Glaurung 2 - ε/5, and repeat the experiment (same time control, same positions, same opponents) with new development versions I send you at irregular intervals.

I am also looking for someone who can help me create a nice icon for the Mac OS X version of Glaurung.

If someone is willing to help me with either of these tasks, please drop me a private message, or (better) write an e-mail. You'll find my e-mail address near the end of the Readme.txt file supplied with Glaurung 2 - ε/5.

I will be frank; I could only help as a human player playing human games at 40/60. If that is useful for you, Ok, I m available: if not, just lets drop the issue at once.
My best
