Hiarcs7.32	A1100 (CSS-Master-Version)

If we order the megahertz we get

1.DFritz		2xP3-866
2.Hiarcs7.32	        A1100 (CSS-Master-Version)
  CM6000		A1100
3.Junior6		A1000
  Rebel C.3	        A1000
  Zarkov501	        A1000
  Gandalf		P1000
4.CTiger		P3-840
5.Shredder4	        A800 (500MB RAM)
6.Goliath L2.0	        A650
7.GTiger		P3-500
...

so the chances for Fritz and Junior to win this tournament
by hardware advantage are very good.
If you see that Rebel-Tiger13 is not that good in swiss-tournament
since it plays very solid and can give away half-points,
and the only difficult opponent for DF and junior is Gambit-Tiger,
but they gave Gambit-Tiger a machine that is on a 6th
fast machine, they gave their best to fine-tune the tournament
the way the FASTEST machines will make it.

pah - the way you talk about the programs is really funny.
Rebel-Tiger13 is not good in swiss-tournaments, GAMBIT-Tiger is much
stronger in such a field. and Gambit-Tiger got a slower hardware.
That slow that even junior (who gets 50% against Gambit-Tiger, not more
and not less) has better chances with 2x faster hardware.

junior is 2x faster hardware, DF even 3.46 times faster hardware !

considering that gambit-tiger gets 2-3.46 times slower hardware,
junior and fritz are very lucky.

with same hardware gambit-tiger would win the tournament.
