Right, the official site's pages for both tournaments are at

http://ajedrez-de-estilo.com.ar/reparg7/home.htm

and the real Chessbase coverage by Roberto Alvarez, the person running Shredder
there, is at http://www.chessbase.com/espanola/index.asp

Please note that Chessbase has 3 sites of news and information, one in English,
one in German, and one in Spanish, and they are NOT the same. Many times an
important article will be found at all of them, but if you look you will see
that many of the articles are not translated and found in only one of these
sites. It is the case for several of the excellent and detailed reports (with
several pics) by Roberto Alvarez.

One other thing, as reported by Alvarez in his round 7 report, although Shredder
8 has 6/7 in the Master's tournamant (Torneio ITT on the official page) the 7th
round victory should not be counted in its TPR, for purposes of evaluating its
strength that is, since its 7th round opponent simply did not appear to play. I
found no results of the later rounds of the Master's event.
