Jim.

The new Glaurung 2 is here! That is great! Thanks Tord and Jim!

I will go test it against the latest; Forbidden Fruitka 1.0

Hmmm - I can't get this compile working on my Athlons.

When I try to create a new uci engine, Fritz 10 crashes.

Can you open the engine in console mode? If so does it crash? Are you using the version for all processors? I dont think the one for intel Core2duo, quad or xeon would work on any other processors.

I'm using the "All Processors" exe.
It opens in console mode. Perhaps I should have done that first before trying to load?

I get an error everytime I try to unzip the file. "Unable to create directory"...

Anyone else encountered this problem?

Corrupt Zip file, Just re-download file.

I used an exe packer on the 'all processors' version. Maybe
you system doesn't like it. Try the one below instead.

Also there may be a 'divide by zero' bug in the code. Got a
crash a minute ago. Maybe related to 'kpk.bin'. (does Glaurung 2
still use this?) try removing it from the folder if it happens to you.

I'm using the All Processors version within ChessBase 9 on my AMD Dual, with no problems so far.

Hi Jim,

I'll try as soon as a GUI becomes free, I'll let you know.
Mind you, Ted or somebody else might beat me to it!
Thanks for your efforts,

Regards, Graham.

It still crashed over on this end. Did notice that the file size changed

Not 'kpk.bin' - just happened again

Excellent!

I will wait for a 64-bit build though.

Why? Glaurung hardly gains any speed from 64bit.

That probably depends on your CPU and/or OS. I just compared the speed of the 32-bit and 64-bit binaries on my iMac Core Duo 2.8 GHz, under Mac OS X and Linux (the latter running in a virtual machine under OS X). For the OS X binaries, which were compiled with the Intel compiler, 64-bit gave a speedup of 42.7%. For the Linux binaries, which were compiled with GCC 4.1, the 64-bit speedup was 57.9%.

A speedup around 40-60% probably isn't worth a lot of Elo points, but it is still enough that I understand that people want to wait for the 64-bit version.
