English:
The second serie with 28 games [each program had to
play against all its opponents] has come to an
end. And this time, the top scorer was Hiarcs 8 with
5 points out of 7 games, followed by TK 3.23 SKR and
Fritz 8008 with 4,5/7. Also Shredder 7.04 with 4,0/7 has
"warmed" up. A disaster happened to Junior 8 with only
1,5/7 and this means last place in the tournament so
far. Less successful - in comparison with the first
serie - were Deep Sjeng 1.5 and Ruffian 1.0.5 with
2,5/7 but both engines are still better placed than
Junior 8. Johan de Koning's program TK 3.23 SKR was
able to defend its first place and this despite its
first loss in the tournament vs Hiarcs 8. Mark Uniacke's
engine made a great jump forward to second place with
8,0/14 but Chess Tiger 15 and Fritz 8008 with 7,5/14 are
very close followed by Shredder 7.04 with 7,0/14. Still
waiting for some wins is the unlucky Junior 8.

Deutsch:
Die zweite Serie des Turniers ist zu Ende. Und dieses
Mal war es Hiarcs 8, das mit 5,0/7 die Top-Leistung brachte,
gefolgt von TK 3.23 SKR und Fritz 8008 mit 4,5/7. Auch
Shredder 7.04 scheint mit 4,0/7 erwacht zu sein. Das trifft
gar nicht zu auf Junior 8, das mit 1,5/7 ein Disaster erlebte
und damit den letzten Platz im Turnier einnimmt. Etwas weniger
erfolgreich als im ersten Umgang agierten Deep Sjeng 1.5 und
Ruffian 1.0.5 obwohl beide Programme bessere Plätze einnehmen
als Junior 8. Die Engine von Johan de Koning ziert noch immer
den ersten Platz, und dies trotz der ersten Niederlage im Turnier
gegen Hiarcs 8. Mark Uniacke's Programm machte durch seine gute
Leistung einen grossen Sprung auf Platz 2. Die nächsten Verfolger
Chess Tiger 15 und Fritz 8008 sind dichtauf, knapp dahinger aber
Shredder 7.04 mit 7,0/14. Noch immer auf einige Siege wartet das
unglücklich kämpfende israelische Programm Junior 8.
