Thanks for the info.
The participating programs are Shredder 8, Junior 8, Fritz 8 and The King 3.23
Can't find any info on the hardware used, but replaying the first round
Shredder's game, it seems that they're not running on the fastest rigs. Yet,
7.5-0.5 against an average human elo of aprox. 2400 is not too bad for the
chips.
Two more rounds for the carbon left to close the gap.
