OK. I am going to ask Thorsten to start a match again and to look for the saved
game(s).
Thorsten is the only person, to my knowledge, to have both Chess Tiger 11.7 and
Junior5.
It would be interesting to have at least another independant tester, as the

Let's keep on discussing this topic openly, here on CCC.
