Smaug, a chess engine by Joona Kiiski which was a slightly modified version of Glaurung 2.2 by Tord Romstad, announced in March 2009 [1]. Smaugh's patches were soon incorporated into another Glaurung derivative by Marco Costalba dubbed Stockfish [2] . Along with some emotional forum discussions on derivatives [3], Joona Kiiski became co-author of Stockfish, and Smaug 2.2.1. the one and only public release [4].
