At the http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1947 says: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The computers are: Hydra, a hardware machine running on a 16-processer array that is located in Abu Dhabi, UAE; Deep Junior, the reigning computer chess world champion, playing on a remote 4 x 2.8 GHz Xeon machine located at Intel UK (Swindon); and Fritz 8, running on a Centrino 1.7 GHz notebook in the tournament hall. The organisers felt that this would provide interesting comparative data, for amateurs and press, about program performances on three different platforms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Chessbase itself says that the engines will play are Deep Junior and Fritz 8, without refering to Junior's version while this is different for Fritz (it says version 8), we can assume that it was Fritz 8 the engine that played.
