This was not Junior 7 like I have. My Junior 7 would have played more agressive moves. Was it contempt factor settings? Is it something new that Amir is trying? I would not be too quick to criticize untill I know exactly what happened today. I hope there is some reasonable explanation. In any case you have to lay part of the blame on the GM. He did nothing either. The game was a draw. That is still not a bad result vs a GM. I would have liked to see Junior play more agressive with white myself but if GM's have to resort to this tactic to draw with computers then that also says something about computer strength. Jim Jim
