THROW BACK THURSDAY (MAC ONLY)

[MikeB]

For those with a Mac looking for new engine, I just recompiled Glaurung 2.2 using the latest compiler tools from Intel . Single core on a i7 4790 CPU iMac will get about 2.6M/nps on a single core. No playing modification, did modify the benchmark. Now uses the same positions in current Stockfish benchmark also tells you the total nodes searched and nps. No need to open the text file to compare. Only made that change so I could optimize Glaurung more effectively.

Sole purpose in compiling was to get a new training partner for Crafty.

For those that don't know, Glaurung is sort of like Stockfish's grandpappy and if you want to see so how far Stockfish has come in 7 years. Works perfectly fine under xBoard on OS X 10.10. Just PM me if you're interested in a copy.
