Subject: Deep Junior 7's strange ways............

When Junior 7 was released a few months back, most people who used it said that
it was too aggressive, and sometimes would give material for almost no reason.

Those claims were hushed shortly after it won the WMCCC.

This game was a game against Chess Tiger 14.0, played on playchess.com.  It
shows a great example of Deep Junior giving away a piece, for little if any
compensation.

I understand that in essence, it is trading a piece for 3 pawns.  But any human
can look at the board and see, it's a trade that won't pay off in the end.
