P.Conners is like junior: not a very good eval (very bad in fact), but searching tactical lines very deep. P.Conners runs on more processors like junior. So it's not hard to imagine p.conners destroying its smaller brother completely. Note that p.conners is not a preprocessor, but it's a selectively searching program at 180 processors or so. Junior would completely get butchered. Programs using other approaches, like Rebel is a different story, apart from the fact that the book of p.conners is not the best in the world to use an understatement (though made by a real good chessplayer that is not at all garantuee that it's good, idem for junior). So a possible junior-p.conners confrontation is more like: does junior have a killerbook? If you answer no to that, then it will lose as it meets its tactical stronger brother. If answer is 'yes', then it has a chance. Where rebel stands is obvious, but its a different program as junior. Idem for zarkovx, diep and others. They use a more knowledgeable approach, because outsearching p.conners tactical is something you can shake till your death. No one outsearches p.conners tactical. It is real good in finding tactical shots. To remember the game rebel-p.conners wcc99, p.conners got lost out of book there, but saw many moves before rebel already that it would lose material, where rebel only saw a good positional advantage for it (which conners missed of course but it already saw the material).
