I don't really think there is anything strange with time controls, hash tables,hardware or anything else, so what do you think it's wrong with test conditions? Perhaps Junior don't feel confortable playing in Germany? Anyway, maybe the "problem" for the bad performance of Junior 8 is the remis book. It's known that in a tournament Junior will propably have the least draws of all, so playing with a book which is made from drawn positions from GM's, lead Junior to play from "almost drawn" positions for a win. So Junior gives pawns for the initiative to take the win, but the only think it does is destroying himself. Instead if it played with Junior8.ctg then the positions would arise should be favorable to it. That's why i think is not the best thing to have a general book for the engines in a tournament. But anyway a very good tournament and now that Shredder has come back i think it's too difficult not to take 1st place.
