Subject: Junior5's inability to see underpromotions.

Although amir ban didn't consider this important enough to include in Junior5
(nothing against him or his program .. its VERY strong), it is useful is certain
positions, albeit very few, but still important.. for instance the famous
endgame study w/ saaevedra .. W: Kc7, pc7 B: ka1 Rd4 .. white mates in 8 with
c8=R!! but junior5 cannot see this because of that limitiation.. obviously
promotion to a R is the ONLY way to win.. as c8=q is met by Rc4+!! and draws..

I was wondering maybe if Amir could build a small patch that allows junior to
see this?
