GERMAN:
Mit der Königsindischen Verteidigung kam ChessTiger14 am besten zurecht, während
auch Shredder602 eine gute Leistung an den Tag legte. Für einmal konnte
Fritz7006 nicht so glänzen und erreichte nicht einmal 50 Prozent. Noch
schlechtere Resultate erzielten Hiarcs732 und überraschenderweise auch Junior7,
das mit dem strategisch anspruchsvollen Plan Mühe bekundete. Zum zweiten Mal
steht jedoch TheKing312X mit nur 3 Punkten aus 10 Partien am Ende der Tabelle.
Langsam fragen wir uns wirklich, ob TheKing.eng v3.12d schlechter ist als die
v3.12, denn gute Partien wie im T2002 haben wir von diesem Programm kaum mehr
gesehen.
ENGLISH:
This time, in the classical kings indian defence, it was ChessTiger14 to prove
that this program still belongs to the best chess engines of the world. Only
Shredder602 reached also a score of more than 50 percent. And by way of
exception, Fritz7006 showed some unknown weaknesses in this kind of position. It
went even worse for Hiarcs732 and most surprisingly also for Junior7 with 40
percent. But for the second time in this Nunn test, Johan de Koning's
TheKing312X showed a very disappointing behaviour. Fairly spoken, we can hardly
believe that TheKing v3.12d is the same engine like v3.12 that won the T2002
tournament. It's a long time ago that we have seen a real good game of this
engine ... that's all very strange.
***Standing after 80 rounds***
