Glaurung 2.2 - no EGTB usage?

[Werner]

Hello Werner!

As long as my program is able to mate with KBN vs K when playing, even with just a couple of seconds for the whole game, I don't care that it needs a long time to announce mate in positions like the one above.
Tord

have a look at this game here: does Glaurung playing the same way?
