they've selected Fire to participate in this prestigious tournament.

Cryptic from the United Arab Emirates?
can anyone shed some light here?

Hello,
I didn't find any precise address. And a quick Wikipedia search turned out the following:
Thüringen can refer to several places:
* Thuringia, the state in Germany
* Thüringen, Austria, a town in the district of Bludenz in Vorarlberg

Is it the first or the latter?

Does anyone know what that is supposed to mean:
Shark is network based deep search meta engine. It is based on unique idea by which it reaches to depth of 25+ easily with the help of only 6 CPUs in less than a minute. Currently a dual core CPU takes more than an hour to reach to this depth.

No.... and I've searched Google for anything relating to it. No luck. Everything about it is well.... Cryptic :). No luck with it's brother cryptic either. I believe that there is an account (actually 2, but they are the same person AFAIK) on playchess that uses Shark, and/or Cryptic.

BTW, I think Stockfish beats it for depth..... ;)
