I was able to get the first two games from Junior's most recent tournament
from about 6 weeks ago. Could you post Junior's pgn games again please?
Or e-mail would work for me also.

I believe Junior's recent TPR of 2500 is more accurate a measure of its strength
than the 2361 stretched over five years. Alot of software tweaks and hardware
speed are not present in that 2361 rating, as is obvious.
