GERMAN:
Eines kann man sicher sagen: Mit der Sweshnikov-Variante kommen die
Schachprogramme nicht gut zurecht. Davon zeugen auch die Resultate. Neben den 16
Remispartien stehen sich 3 Siege von Weiss und 11 Siege von Schwarz gegenüber.
Der T2002-Sieger TheKing312X hat ebensowenig wie ChessTiger14 Bäume ausgerissen.
Souverän aufgetreten sind Fritz7006 und Junior7. Die Ueberraschung in diesem
ersten Umgang bildet Hiarcs732, während Weltmeister Shredder mit 40 Prozent
nicht ganz zufrieden sein dürfte.
ENGLISH:
One thing seems to be clear: chess programs do not understand the Sweshnikov
variation in the Sicilian defence. The results obtained confirm this
observation: apart from 16 drawn games, White has won 3 games only whereas Black
got 11 wins. An excellenct performance showed Fritz7006 and Junior7. Somewhat
surprising the good result of Hiarcs732. World computer chess champion
Shredder602 may not be fully satisfied with a score of 40 percent. But what
about the leader of the previous T2002 tournament TheKing312X and ChessTiger14.
Both these programs do obviously not at all like the chosen opening.
2) Sicilian Defence, Velimirovic [Rounds 11-20]

GERMAN:
Ein Desaster mit dieser Stellung erlebten ChessTiger14 und Junior7, aber auch
Fritz7006 zeigte wenig von seinem üblichen Glanz. Hingegen brillierte
Angriffskünstler TheKing312X, während auch Shredder602 imstande war, seine
Qualitäten zu offenbaren. Die grosse Ueberraschung war Hiarcs732, der sich im
Mittelfeld klar behaupten konnte.
ENGLISH:
Both, ChessTiger14 and Junior7, did not at all like the given position and the
10 rounds ended with almost a disaster for these good chess programs, whereas
also Fritz7006 was unable to demonstrate more than middle class. On the other
hand, TheKing312X played some very exiting attacking games, and Shredder602
obtained almost the same result in a complete different manner. And with
Hiarcs732 we have [so far] the surprise of this tournament.
