  Description     : free UCI chess engine, to calculate chess moves.

This is a very strong chess engine, finished 4th place at internatonal
ChessWar X. It uses the UCI (universal chess interface), for chess
engines as communication protocol. This means to play against it,
you will have to use an UCI capable interface, like knights. Or an
xboard adapter like polyglot. glaurung can be found at:

Why another chess engine? --
Why another editor?

Playing chess means also analyze your own moves with the strongest
computer program currently available. Strength here is a relative
impression of the user. Giving him various possibilitys.
